1 Kings 22:6-11

6Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall I goH3212 against Ramoth–gileadH1568H7433 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for the LordH136 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.

7And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of YhwhH3068 besidesH5750, that we might enquireH1875 of him?

8And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229, by whom we may enquireH1875 of YhwhH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he doth not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.

9Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 anH259 officerH5631, and saidH559, HastenH4116 hither MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229.1

10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH376 on his throneH3678, having put onH3847 their robesH899, in an open placeH1637 in the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 them.2

11And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270: and he saidH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, With these shalt thou pushH5055 the SyriansH758, until thou have consumedH3615 them.
