1 Kings 22:6-14
6So 1the king of Israel assembled the 2prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead or should I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.” 7But 3Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of him?” 8And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy anything good regarding me, but only bad. He is Micaiah the son of Imlah.” But Jehoshaphat said, “May the king not say so.” 9Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah quickly.” 10Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting, each on his throne, dressed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and 4all the prophets were prophesying before them. 11Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made 5horns of iron for himself and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘6With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed!’” 12All the prophets were prophesying this as well, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and succeed, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
13Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, “Behold now, the words of the prophets are 7unanimously favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.” 14But Micaiah said, “8As the Lord lives, whatever 9the Lord says to me, I shall speak it.”
