2 Chronicles 18:6 In-Context

4 But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "First, please ask what the Lord's will is."

5 So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, 400 men, and asked them, "Should we go to Ramoth-gilead for war or should I refrain?" They replied, "March up, and God will hand it over to the king."

6 But Jehoshaphat asked, "Isn't there a prophet of Yahweh here any more? Let's ask him."

7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man who can ask the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies good about me, but only disaster. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." "The king shouldn't say that," Jehoshaphat replied.

8 So the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Hurry [and get] Micaiah son of Imlah!"
