1 And they dwelt three years without war between Aram and between Israel. 2 And it came to pass in the third year that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to the king of Israel. 3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Have you⁺ not known that Ramoth-gilead is unto us, and we are keeping silent from taking it out of the hand of the king of Aram?” 4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Like me like you, like my people like your people, like my horses like your horses.” 5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Seek, please, today for the word of YHWH.” 6 And the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to fight, or shall I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.” 7 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a prophet of YHWH still, that we may inquire of Him?” 8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man to seek YHWH by him. I hate him, because he does not prophesy concerning me good, but rather evil: Micaiah son of Imlah.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things.” 9 And the king of Israel called to one eunuch and said, “Bring quickly Micaiah son of Imlah.” 10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, by the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets prophesied before them. 1 Kings 22:1-10, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
