7. But Jehoshaphat said, “Doesn’t the Lord have another prophet here? Let’s ask him the same question.”
8. King Ahab answered, “Yes, there is another prophet. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he will not say anything good about me when he speaks for the Lord. He always says things that I don’t like.” Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say that!”
