Literal Fulfillment

While the verse uses direct speech, the "command" and "say unto their masters" could be interpreted as a symbolic message of divine authority being conveyed through human agents, rather than a literal instruction for the prophets to physically deliver a message to foreign kings.

Prophetic Methods of Communication

This verse describes a command given by God to a prophet to deliver a message, but it does not specify the method by which God communicated that initial command to the prophet.
