Barnes's 1-kings 22:18 Bible Commentary
See 1 Kings 22:8. Ahab implies that he believes Micaiah to have spoken out of pure malevolence, without any authority for his prediction from God. By implication he invites Jehoshaphat to disregard this pseudo-prophecy, and to put his trust in the unanimous declaration of the 400. Micaiah, therefore, proceeds to explain the contradiction between himself and the 400, by recounting another vision.
Wesley's 1-kings 22:18 Bible Commentary
22:18 Evil - Nay, but what evil was it, to tell him, what would be the event, if he proceeded in his expedition, while it was in his own power,whether he would proceed, or no? The greatest kindness we can do to onethat is walking in a dangerous way, is to tell him of his danger.
