1 Kings 22:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ So the king of Israel called 400 prophets together. He asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth in Gilead or not?”

“Go,” they said. “The Lord ^[a] will hand over Ramoth to you.”

⁷ But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord whom we could ask?”

⁸ The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “We can ask the Lord through Micaiah, son of Imlah, but I hate him. He doesn’t prophesy anything good about me, only evil.”

Jehoshaphat answered, “The king must not say that.”
