1 Kings 22:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Ahab called about four hundred prophets together and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth in Gilead or ·not [hold back]?”

They answered, “Go, because the Lord will hand them over to you.”

⁷ But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord here [^Cindicating skepticism about their reliability]? Let’s ask him what we should do.”

⁸ Then King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “There is one other prophet. We could ask the Lord through him, but I hate him. He never prophesies anything good about me, ·but something bad [only evil]. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.”

Jehoshaphat said, “King Ahab, you shouldn’t say that!”
