1 Kings 22:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ Ahab sent for about 400 prophets and asked, “Should I attack the Syrians at Ramoth?”

“Yes!” the prophets answered. “The Lord will help you defeat them.”

⁷ But Jehoshaphat said, “Just to make sure, is there another of the Lord's prophets we can ask?”

⁸ “We could ask Micaiah son of Imlah,” Ahab said. “But I hate Micaiah. He always has bad news for me.”

“Don't say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
