1 Kings 22:6-14

6And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6908 the prophetsH5030, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 to them, Shall I goH5927 against Ramoth-Gilead to battleH4421, or shall I forbear? And they saidH559, GoH5927 up, and the LordH136 will giveH5414 it into the king's handH3027.

7But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not hereH6311 a prophetH5030 of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?

8And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, There is yetH5750 oneH259 manH376 by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hateH8130 him, for he prophesiesH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451: [it is] Micah the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 soH3651.

9Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 a chamberlain, and saidH559, Fetch quicklyH4116 Micah the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229.

10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, having putH3847 on their robes, satH3427 each on his throneH3678, in the open place at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 before them.

11And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of Chenaanah madeH6213 for himself hornsH7161 of ironH1270, and he saidH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.

12And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 soH3651, sayingH559, GoH5927 up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosperH6743; for Jehovah will giveH5414 it into the king's handH3027.

13And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 Micah spokeH1696 to him sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 [declare] goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 assent: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, beH1961 like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 goodH2896.

14And Micah saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, even what Jehovah shall sayH559 to me, that will I speakH1696.
