1 Kings 22:1-7 ▼

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?”
