6. So Ahab called in the prophets, about 400 of them, and asked them, “Should I go and attack Ramoth, or not?”“Attack it,” they answered. “The Lord will give you victory.”
7. But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet through whom we can consult the Lord?”
8. Ahab answered, “There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him, because he never prophesies anything good for me; it's always something bad.”“You shouldn't say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
9. Then Ahab called in a court official and told him to go and fetch Micaiah at once.

11. One of them, Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, made iron horns and said to Ahab, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these you will fight the Syrians and totally defeat them.’ ”
