Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the king of Israel gathered #
the prophets together ,
about four hundred men ,
and said unto them ,
Shall I go against Ramothgilead Ramowth #
to battle ,
or shall I forbear ?
And they said ,
Go up ;
for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king .
*
And Jehoshaphat said ,
Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides ,
that we might enquire of him ?
*
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat ,
There is yet one man ,
Micaiah the son of Imlah ,
by whom we may enquire 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 .
*
Then the king of Israel called an officer ,
and said ,
Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah .
*
And 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 Samaria ;
and all the prophets prophesied before them .
*
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron :
and he said ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
With these shalt thou push the Syrians ,
until thou have consumed them .
*
And all the prophets prophesied so ,
saying ,
Go up to Ramothgilead Ramowth #
Gil #
ad #,
and prosper :
for the LORD shall deliver it into the kings hand .
*
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him ,
saying ,
Behold now ,
the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth :
let thy word ,
I pray thee ,
be like the word of one of them ,
and speak that which is good .
*
And Micaiah said ,
As the LORD liveth ,
what the LORD saith unto me ,
that will I speak .
*
So he came to the king .
And the king said unto him ,
Micaiah ,
shall we go against Ramothgilead Ramowth #
to battle ,
or shall we forbear ?
And he answered him ,
Go ,
and prosper :
for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king .
