[1] Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. [2] And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. [3] And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people and we will be with thee in the war. [4] And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. [5] Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand. [6] But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire [7] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say [8] And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly the son of Imla.
