2. And it came to pass in the third year, that Yehoshaphat Melech Yehudah came down to Melech Yisroel.
3. And Melech Yisroel said unto his avadim, Know ye that Ramot-Gil`ad is ours, and we hesitate, and take it not out of the hand of HaMelech Aram?
4. And he said unto Yehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramot-Gil`ad? And Yehoshaphat said to the Melech Yisroel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my susim as thy susim.
5. And Yehoshaphat said unto the Melech Yisroel, Inquire for the Devar Hashem today.
6. Then the Melech Yisroel gathered the nevi'im together, about 400 men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramot-Gil`ad to battle, or shall I refrain? And they said, Go up; for Hashem shall deliver it into the hand of HaMelech.
7. And Yehoshaphat said, Is there not here a navi of Hashem besides, that we might inquire of him?
8. And the Melech Yisroel said unto Yehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Mikhay'hu ben Yimlah, by whom we may inquire of Hashem: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy tov concerning me, but rah. And Yehoshaphat said, Let not HaMelech say such.
9. Then HaMelech Yisroel called an officer, and said, Hasten here Mikhay'hu ben Yimlah.
10. And the Melech Yisroel and Yehoshaphat Melech Yehudah sat each on his kisse, having put on their robes, at the threshing floor in the entrance of sha'ar Shomron; all the nevi'im prophesied before them.
11. Tzidkiyah ben Kenaanah made him [goring] horns of barzel: and said, Thus saith Hashem, With these shalt thou push Aram until thou have consumed them.
12. And all the nevi'im prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramot-Gil`ad, and succeed: for Hashem shall deliver it into the yad HaMelech.
13. And the malach that was gone to summon Mikhay'hu spoke unto him, saying, Hinei now, the words of the nevi'im declare tov unto HaMelech with one mouth: let thy word be like the word of one of them, speak that which is tov.
