מלכים א, פרק כ״ב, פסוק י״ג

The journey to the royal court serves as a moment to pressure a dissenting voice. Before they even arrive to stand before the king, the messenger sent to retrieve Micaiah attempts to influence the prophet's upcoming message [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. He emphasizes that the rest of the prophets have spoken with absolute uniformity and complete agreement, all predicting success and delivering a favorable outlook for the king [מצודת דוד].

Hoping to avoid conflict, the messenger urges Micaiah to align his words with his peers and offer a positive message. This plea reveals a desire for Micaiah to break away from his usual habit of delivering harsh rebukes and difficult prophecies. Instead, the messenger hopes that, just this once, the prophet will agree to provide a favorable prediction exactly as his colleagues have done [ביאור שטיינזלץ, מצודת דוד].
