And Iehosaphat sayde vnto the king of Israel: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses. 5 And Iehosaphat sayde vnto the king of Israel: Aske counsel I pray thee at the worde of the Lorde to day. 6 And then the king of Israel gathered the prophetes together, vpon a foure hundred men, & sayde vnto them: Shall I go against Ramoth [in] Gilead to battayle, or shall I let it alone? And they sayde, Go vp: for the Lorde shall deliuer it into the handes of the king. 7 And Iehosaphat sayd: Is there here neuer a prophete of the Lord more, that we might inquire of him? 8 And the king of Israel sayde vnto Iehosaphat: There is yet one man (Michea the sonne of Iimla) by whom we may aske counsell of the Lorde: But I hate him, for he doth not prophecie good vnto me, but euyll. And Iehosaphat sayde: Let not the king say so. 9 Then the king of Israel called a chamberlayne, & sayde: Fet Michea the sonne of Iimla hyther at once. 10 And the king of Israel, and Iehosaphat the king of Iuda, sate eyther in his seate, and their apparell on them, in a voyde place besyde the entring in of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophetes prophecied before them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Micaiah said, as the Lord liveth,.... He swore by the living God, for the confirmation of what he was about to say:
what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak; truly and faithfully, keeping nothing back, nor adding anything, whether it be good or evil, pleasing or displeasing; it looks as if as yet he had no instruction from the Lord what to say, and yet the vision he later declares seems to have been had by him before, 1 Kings 22:17.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Micaiah, as a true prophet of Yahweh, of course rejected the counsel offered him, which he felt to be at once wicked and foolish. Compare also the resolution of Balaam, marginal reference.
