Melachim Alef 22:7-13 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.
