1 Kings 22:6-14

6Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 to them, Shall I goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433H1568 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 the LORDH3068 besidesH5750, that we may enquireH1875 of him? 8And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: 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 here 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 a threshingfloorH1637 at 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 the LORDH3068, With these shalt thou pushH5055 the SyriansH758, until thou hast consumedH3615 them. 12And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433H1568, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the king’sH4428 handH3027. 13And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spokeH1696 to him, sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 that which is goodH2896. 14And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, what the LORDH3068 saithH559 to me, that will I speakH1696.
