1 Kings 22 2-1 Kings 22 9
However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went to visit the king of Israel.The king of Israel had said to his servants,“ Don’t you know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”So he asked Jehoshaphat,“ Will you go with me to fight Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel,“ I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel,“ First, please ask what the Lord’s will is.”So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about 400 men, and asked them,“ Should I go against Ramoth-gilead for war or should I refrain?” They replied,“ March up, and the Lord will hand it over to the king.”But Jehoshaphat asked,“ Isn’t there a prophet of Yahweh here anymore? Let’s ask him.”The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,“ There is still one man who can ask Yahweh, but I hate him because he never prophesies good about me, but only disaster. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.”“ The king shouldn’t say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.So the king of Israel called an officer and said,“ Hurry and get Micaiah son of Imlah!”
