3and the king of Israel saith unto his servants, ‘Have ye not known that ours is Ramoth-Gilead? and we are keeping silent from taking it out of the hand of the king of Aram!’ 4And he saith unto Jehoshaphat, ‘Dost thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead?’ and Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, ‘As I am, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.’ 5And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, ‘Seek, I pray thee, to-day, the word of Jehovah;’ 6and the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, about four hundred men, and saith unto them, ‘Do I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I forbear?’ and they say, ‘Go up, and the Lord doth give it into the hand of the king.’ 7And Jehoshaphat saith, ‘Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, and we seek by him?’ 8And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, ‘Yet—one man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth not prophesy concerning me good, but evil—Micaiah son of Imlah;’ and Jehoshaphat saith, ‘Let not the king say so.’ 9And the king of Israel calleth unto a certain eunuch, and saith, ‘Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.’ 10And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, in a threshing-floor, at the opening of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them. 11And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of iron, and saith, ‘Thus said Jehovah, By these thou dost push the Aramaeans till they are consumed;’ 12and all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, ‘Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given it into the hand of the king.’ 13And the messenger who hath gone to call Micaiah hath spoken unto him, saying, ‘Lo, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good towards the king; let it be, I pray thee, thy word as the word of one of them—and thou hast spoken good.’ 14And Micaiah saith, ‘Jehovah liveth; surely that which Jehovah saith unto me—it I speak.’

15And he cometh in unto the king, and the king saith unto him, ‘Micaiah, do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead, to battle, or do we forbear?’ and he saith unto him, ‘Go up, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given it into the hand of the king.’
