This reflects the biblical principle of divine justice and the consequences of disobedience to God.And one suggested this, and another that. This part of the verse illustrates the deliberation among the spiritual beings in God's presence, showing a diversity of opinions and plans.

How it was that their contents did not avail with Jehoshaphat to throw full energy again into his conscience, and to enable him to break at once with Ahab and his expedition, is inexplicable (and the more as it was his own pressing suggestion that the true prophet should be summoned), except as another illustration of the fearful difficulty that lies so often to human weakness, in the way of retracing a false step. Both these visions (vers. 16, 18-22) well illustrate how God revealed his truth, will and specific messages to his true prophets in vision.
