2 Chronicles 18:10-12
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
10 And Zedeki′ah the son of Chena′anah made for himself horns of iron, and said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed.’” 11 And all the prophets prophesied so, and said, “Go up to Ra′moth-gil′ead and triumph; the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
12 And the messenger who went to summon Micai′ah said to him, “Behold, the words of the prophets[a] with one accord are favorable to the king; let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.”

- 18.12 prophets: Jeremiah says that false prophets usually proclaim what their hearers want them to say: “every one deals falsely . . . saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace” (Jer 6.13-14). It will be noticed that the Chronicler omits a large part of 2 Kings which is concerned with the northern kingdom. Elijah, for example, is mentioned only once, in 21.12.
