Context of 2 Chronicles 18:8
6But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord whom we could ask?” 7The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “We can ask the Lord through Micaiah, son of Imla, but I hate him. Nothing he prophesies about me is good; it’s always evil.” Jehoshaphat answered, “The king must not say that.” The king of Israel called for an officer and said, “Quick! ⌞Get⌟ Micaiah, son of Imla!” 9The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah were dressed in royal robes and seated on thrones. They were sitting on the threshing floor at the entrance to the gate of Samaria. All the prophets were prophesying in front of them. 10Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, made iron horns and said, “This is what the Lord says: With these horns you will push the Arameans to their destruction.”
