4
Yehoshafat said to the king of Yisra'el, Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.
5
Then the king of Yisra'el gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramot-Gil`ad to battle, or shall I forbear? They said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.
6
But Yehoshafat said, Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may inquire of him?
7
The king of Yisra'el said to Yehoshafat, 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: the same is Mikhayahu the son of Imla. Yehoshafat said, Don't let the king say so.
8
Then the king of Yisra'el called an officer, and said, Get quickly Mikhayahu the son of Imla.
