1 Kings 22:6

The prophets - i. e., In all probability the prophets attached to the worship of the calves; not real prophets of Yahweh. This seems evident both from Jehoshaphat' s dissatisfaction I Kings 22:7, and from the strong antagonism apparent between the true Yahweh-prophet Micaiah, and these self-styled "prophets of the Lord" I Kings 22:22-25.

The Lord shall deliver it - In the Hebrew the word here used for "Lord" is 'ǎdonāy . Later (i. e., in I Kings 22:11-12) Lord or y^e hovâh is used. It would seem as if the idolatrous prophets shrank from employing the latter title until they found that Jehoshaphat insisted on learning the will of Yahweh in the matter.
