דברי הימים ב, פרק י״ח, פסוק י״ב

Before a prophet even steps before a monarch, the political pressure begins. A messenger sent to summon Micaiah takes the opportunity to try and influence the upcoming message. He informs Micaiah that all the other prophets are speaking with absolute uniformity and agreement, predicting a favorable outcome for the king [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ].

Hoping to avoid conflict, the messenger urges Micaiah to align his words with the rest of the group and deliver a positive forecast. This plea is not necessarily a demand to invent a false prophecy. Rather, it is an effort to persuade the prophet to soften his tone, hoping he might break away from his long-standing pattern of delivering harsh and difficult predictions to the ruler [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
