⁶Then the king of Israel ^fgathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. ⁷And ^gJehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might inquire of him? ⁸And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. ⁹Then the king of Israel called an ^||officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. ¹⁰And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a ^†void place in the entrance of the gate of ^hSamaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. ¹¹And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him ⁱhorns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the Lord, With these ^kshalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
