4
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh.
5
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? They said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.
6
But Jehoshaphat said, Isn't there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, 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 Yahweh: but I hate him; for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. Jehoshaphat said, Don't let the king say so.
8
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Get quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
