Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Kings 22:7

"But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we may inquire of him?" — 1 Kings 22:7 (ASV)

Is there not here a prophet of the Lord. —The rendering of the great name “Jehovah” by “the Lord” obscures the sense of the passage. In the previous utterance of the prophets, the word (Adonai) is merely “Lord” in the etymological sense, which might mean the Supreme God of any religion. Jehoshaphat, struck with their shrinking from the distinctive name Jehovah, asks, “Is there not a prophet of Jehovah?”—one who is not ashamed or afraid to speak in His awe-inspiring name?
