Open this scene in the reader →5Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please seek a word from Yahweh today.”
6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” They replied, “Go up, and the Lord will give it into the king’s hands.”
7But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not another prophet of Yahweh here whom we can consult?”
8The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one more man through whom we can inquire of Yahweh: Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him, because he prophesies nothing good for me, only disaster.” Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say that.”
9Then the king of Israel called a court official and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah quickly.”
