4. He asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you come with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “You and I are as one, and your people and my people, your horses and my horses as well.”
5. Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Seek the word of the Lord at once.”
6. The king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred of them, and asked, “Shall I go to fight against Ramoth-gilead or shall I refrain?” They said, “Attack. The Lord will give it into the power of the king.”
7. But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no other prophet of the Lord here we might consult?”
8. The king of Israel answered, “There is one other man through whom we might consult the Lord; but I hate him because he prophesies not good but evil about me. He is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say that.”
9. So the king of Israel called an official and said to him, “Get Micaiah, son of Imlah, at once.”
