Contextual Overview
1Aram (Syria) and Israel continued without war for three years. 2In the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. 3Now the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, yet we are still doing nothing to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?" 4And Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses." 5But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD." 6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?" And they said, "Go up, for the LORD has handed it over to the king." 7But Jehoshaphat [doubted and] said, "Is there not another prophet of the LORD here whom we may ask?" 8The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is one more man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, because he never prophesies good news for me, but only evil." But Jehoshaphat said, "May the king not say that [Micaiah only tells bad news]." 9Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah." 10Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in their [royal] robes, [in an open place] at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
