1 Kings 22:6–11

⁶So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about four hundred men,^v and asked them, “Should I go against Ramoth-gilead for war or should I refrain?”

They replied, “March up, and the Lord will hand it over to the king.”^w

⁷But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord here anymore?^x Let’s ask him.”

⁸The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man who can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him^y because he never prophesies good about me,^z but only disaster. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.”

“The king shouldn’t say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.

⁹So the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Hurry and get Micaiah son of Imlah!”

¹⁰Now the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah,^aa clothed in royal attire, were each sitting on his own throne. They were on the threshing floor^ab at the entrance to the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying in front of them. ¹¹Then Zedekiah^ac son of Chenaanah made iron horns^ad and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You will gore the Arameans with these until they are finished off.’ ”
