Divrey Hayamim Bais 18:4-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. And Yehoshaphat said unto the Melech Yisroel, Inquire, now at the Devar Hashem today.

5. Therefore the Melech Yisroel gathered together of nevi'im four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to war against Ramot Gil'ad, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for HaElohim will deliver it into the yad HaMelech.

6. But Yehoshaphat said, Is there not here a navi of Hashem, that we might inquire of him?

7. And the Melech Yisroel said unto Yehoshaphat, There is yet ish echad (one man), by whom we may inquire of Hashem, but I hate him because he never prophesied for tov about me, but always ra'ah; the same is Mikhay'hu ben Imla. And Yehoshaphat said, HaMelech should not say that.

8. And the Melech Yisroel called for one of his officials, and said, Bring at once Mikhay'hu ben Imla.
