Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Agency Representation

The verse describes prophets speaking on behalf of "the Lord," but it does not explicitly detail the mechanism of their authority or the conventions of agency, leaving open the possibility that their pronouncements are simply direct divine communication rather than a representation of a sender.

The Prophetic Office

While the verse mentions "prophets" and their "prophesying," it does not explicitly detail the structure of a prophetic office, such as schools of prophets or their recognized institutional role alongside priests and kings; it merely describes their action in a specific instance.
