This Nestorian Bishop of Hedatta;
he wrote commentaries on TANAKH
as well as entire New Testament Canon.
The "spirit" who
"came forward and stood
before the Lord" is an
angel and NOT an evil
spirit, Satan, as certain
authors suggest. In fact,
why would an evil spirit
stand before the Lord? On
the contrary, this spirit is
Michael, the leader of the
people. It is he who says
in his zeal, "I will entice
him," that is, "Allow me
to leave and abandon the
prophets of lies, instead of
hindering them, as I have
done many times, in order
to stop and prevent their
false prophecies. As a
consequence, the destiny of
Ahab will be according to what
justice requires, because he
will obey his false prophets with
all his heart, if I do not prevent this."
Isho'dad of Merv Book of Sessions
on I Kings 22:20
