Agency Representation

The verse describes a prophet who speaks on behalf of the Lord, but it focuses on the king's personal animosity towards the prophet and the content of his prophecies, rather than the prophet's role as a representative or messenger. The king's statement "he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil" highlights the *message* and the *messenger's personal relationship* with the king, not the concept of the messenger embodying the sender's authority.
