5. And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray you, at the word of the LORD today.
6. Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
7. And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?
8. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9. Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.
