But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near,.... Stepped in haste and passion from the place where he was:and smote Micaiah on the cheek; in contempt of him, and to show his indignation at what he said; this he did in open court, before two kings; one he believed would favour and screen him in this lawless action, and the other, out of his own jurisdiction, had not courage and presence of mind to resent it:and said, which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee?
