6. Ahab sent for about four hundred prophets and asked, “Should I attack the Syrians at Ramoth?”“Yes!” the prophets answered. “The Lord will help you defeat them.”
7. But Jehoshaphat said, “Just to make sure, is there another of the Lord's prophets we can ask?”
8. “We could ask Micaiah son of Imlah,” Ahab said. “But I hate Micaiah. He always has bad news for me.”“Don't say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
9. Then Ahab sent someone to bring Micaiah as soon as possible.
