Throughout the history of the Israelite kingdoms there were prophets who prophesied nothing but favorable consequences for the actions of their political leaders. Opposing them were prophets who drew a distinction between the will of Yahweh for his people and the opportunistic aims of the monarchs. In the Micaiah narratives of 1 Kings 22 are seen two early states in the development of this ideological conflict. Simon John De Vries examines thoroughly these early stages in order to find and understand the root causes of the conflict that fled finally to national ruin.
William L. Holladay --Andover Newton Theological School "A first-rate piece of work. De Vries's careful analysis brings fresh light into the issues of prophetism before the time of Amos." Rolf Knierim "The most updated and thorough treatment of the subject." George W. Coats --Lexington Theological Seminary "Professor De Vries shows himself to be a competent text critic, a careful literary and source critic, as well as a critic familiar with the practices of form criticism."
