the book of Kings and Judges are cases in point and if you look at the Psalms by David or the Proverbs or books by Solomon -- were these two Prophets? Not really, however, they were inspired by God to write what they wrote
Also, do note 2 Macc. 15:11-16 where Judah Maccabees gets his prophetic vision
Thank you for all the insight, information and links.
