דברי הימים ב, פרק י״ח, פסוק כ״ז

Standing before the king of Israel, Micaiah delivers a fearless response. He issues a clear challenge: if the king manages to return safely from the upcoming battle, it will serve as proof that Micaiah is not a true prophet. A safe return would mean his warnings were simply his own thoughts and not a genuine message from God [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ].

Not content with a quiet warning, the prophet ensures his message is entirely public. He raises his voice loudly so that everyone gathered can hear [מצודת דוד]. With absolute confidence in his vision, he calls out to the crowd, fully willing to take responsibility for his heavy prediction.

When directing his call to the surrounding crowd, his message is meant for everyone present. This audience is understood to be the combined groups of the Israelites and the people of Judah who were gathered at the scene [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Alternatively, this public address encompasses all the tribes of Israel, since each individual tribe can be classified as a distinct people on its own [מצודת דוד].
