1 Kings 22:6-14

6So 1the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6908 the 2prophetsH5030, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 to them, “Should I goH1980 to battleH4421 againstH5921 Ramoth-gileadH7433 orH518 should I refrainH2308?” And they saidH559, “GoH5927 upH5927, for the LordH136 will handH5414H3027 it overH5414 to the kingH4428.” 7But 3JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, “IsH369 thereH369 noH369 longerH5750 a prophetH5030 of the LordH3068 hereH6311, that we may inquireH1875 of him?” 8And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, “There is stillH5750 oneH259 manH376 by whom we may inquireH1875 of the LordH3068, but I hateH8130 him, becauseH3588 he does not prophesyH5012 anything goodH2896 regardingH5921 me, but only badH7451. He is MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229.” But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, “May the kingH4428 not sayH559 soH3651.” 9Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 summonedH7121 an officerH5631 and saidH559, “BringH4116 MicaiahH4321 sonH1121 of ImlahH3229 quicklyH4116.” 10Now the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were sittingH3427, eachH376 on his throneH3678, dressedH3847 in their robesH899, at the threshingH1637 floorH1637 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and 4allH3605 the prophetsH5030 were prophesyingH5012 beforeH6440 them. 11Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 madeH6213 5hornsH7161 of ironH1270 for himself and saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘6With theseH428 you will goreH5055 the ArameansH758 untilH5704 they are destroyedH3615!’” 12AllH3605 the prophetsH5030 were prophesyingH5012 thisH3651 as well, sayingH559, “GoH5927 upH5927 to Ramoth-gileadH7433 and succeedH6743, for the LordH3068 will handH5414H3027 it overH5414 to the kingH4428.”

13Then the messengerH4397 whoH834 wentH1980 to summonH7121 MicaiahH4321 spokeH1696 to him sayingH559, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 are 7unanimouslyH259H6310 favorableH2896 to the kingH4428. PleaseH4994 let your wordH1697 be like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 favorablyH2896.” 14But MicaiahH4321 saidH559, “8As the LordH3068 livesH2416, whateverH3588H834 9the LordH3068 saysH559 to me, I shall speakH1696 it.”
