4. And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel; Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord today.
5. When the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
6. But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here besides a prophet of the Lord, that we might inquire of him?
7. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good concerning me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
