smote Micaiah upon the cheek

on 2 Chronicles 18:23-24

Zedekiah's blow and his taunt, which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee, assumes his own prophesying carried the Spirit and Micaiah's could not. Micaiah does not argue the point; he answers with a forward word instead, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself, a private reckoning promised for a public lie. The exchange matches 1 Ki 22:24-25 without variation.
