*
And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah ,
Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead ?
And he answered him ,
I am as thou art ,
and my people as thy people ;
and we will be with thee in the war .
*
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel ,
Enquire ,
I pray thee ,
at the word of the LORD to day .
*
Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men ,
and said unto them ,
Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle ,
or shall I forbear ?
And they said ,
Go up ;
for God will deliver it into the king '
s hand .
*
But 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 ,
by whom we may enquire of the LORD :
but I hate him ;
for he never prophesied good unto me ,
but always evil :
the same is Micaiah the son of Imla .
And Jehoshaphat said ,
Let not the king say so .
*
And the king of Israel called for one of his officers ,
and said ,
Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla .
*
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne ,
clothed in their robes ,
and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria ;
and all the prophets prophesied before them .
*
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron ,
and said ,
Thus saith the LORD ,
With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed .
*
And all the prophets prophesied so ,
saying ,
Go up to Ramothgilead ,
and prosper :
for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king .
*
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him ,
saying ,
Behold ,
the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent ;
let thy word therefore ,
I pray thee ,
be like one of theirs ,
and speak thou good .
*
And Micaiah said ,
As the LORD liveth ,
even what my God saith ,
that will I speak .
*
And when he was come to the king ,
the king said unto him ,
Micaiah ,
shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle ,
or shall I forbear ?
And he said ,
Go ye up ,
and prosper ,
and they shall be delivered into your hand .
*
And the king said to him ,
How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD ?
