1 Kings 22:6-14

6Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall I goH5927 against Ramoth-gilead to battleH4421, or shall I forbear? And they saidH559, GoH5927 up; for the LordH136 will deliver it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428. 7But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not hereH6311 a prophetH5030 of Jehovah besides, that we may inquire of him? 8And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yetH5750 oneH259 manH376 by whom we may inquire of Jehovah, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229: but I hateH8130 him; for he doth not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 soH3651. 9Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 an officer, and saidH559, Fetch quicklyH4116 MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229. 10Now the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were sittingH3427 each on his throneH3678, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 were prophesyingH5012 before them. 11And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of Chenaanah madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until they be consumed. 12And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 soH3651, sayingH559, GoH5927 up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosperH6743; for Jehovah will deliver it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.

13And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spake unto him, sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 unto the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, beH1961 like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 thou goodH2896. 14And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, what Jehovah saith unto me, that will I speakH1696.
