Commentary on 1 Kings 22:7

Theological / Devotional

Of the Lord. The term here used by Jehoshaphat is Yahweh. The king of Judah is distinctly dissatisfied with the prophets of Israel, thus indicating that they must be placed in an entirely different category from the prophets of the true God and the only real “Lord,” Jehovah. From here on, however, the word Yahweh is used by both the true prophet of Jehovah and the others for the God they worship, as “Lord” (vs. 8, 11, 12, 14-17, 19, 21, 24).
