2 Chronicles 18:8 In-Context

6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here that we may inquire of him?"
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD , but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me but always evil. He is Micaiah, son of Imla." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah, Imla's son."
9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, "Thus says the LORD , 'With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are consumed.' "
