and they turned aside to fight against him; pressed upon him with all their force, either to take him or slay him:
and Jehoshaphat cried out; with a loud voice, either to the captains to let them know who he was, or to his men to come to his assistance, or rather to God to help and deliver him; since it is said in Ch2 18:31 that the Lord helped him, and moved or inclined the hearts of the captains to depart from him, as it follows here.

28. Hearken, O people, every one of you] R.V. Hear, ye peoples, all of you. This sentence is omitted by the LXX. as are also the words ‘And he said’ which precede. In consequence it has been thought that they are no part of the original text, but a marginal note of a later time, which some one put down to shew that the Micaiah here spoken of was the same with Micah the author of the prophecy. For that prophecy (Mic_1:2) opens with this same sentence, and beside this, in 2Ch_18:14 the name Micah occurs in the text for Micaiah. No one however thinks that Micah the prophet lived in Ahab’s days. The R.V. however very properly translates in both places by the same English. For it may be that Micah at his opening took up the burden with which the Scripture record of Micaiah closes.
The plural rendered ‘peoples’ is very frequent in the O. Test., and the R.V. has introduced this rendering commonly. It signifies sometimes the various nations of the world at large, but often, as here, the tribes of Israel. Cf. Gen_49:10; Deu_32:8, &c.

And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people Rather, O nations. Audite, populi crones, Vulgate. He appeals, so to speak, to the world, every one of you. It is a curious circumstance that these same words are found at the beginning of the prophecy of Micah. (1Ki_1:2) The coincidence may be purely accidental, or the words may have been borrowed by the prophet, not, indeed, from our historian, but from some record, the substance of which is embodied in this history. Micah lived about a century and a half after Micaiah; about a century before the Book of Kings was given to the world.
