Ask for Yahweh’s word

5And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire today for the word of Yahweh.”

6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go against Ramoth-gilead for battle, or should I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”

7But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not still here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may inquire of him?”

8And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one more man through whom to inquire of Yahweh, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but only evil: Micaiah son of Imlah.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say so.”

9Then the king of Israel called one officer and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah quickly.”
