Contextual Overview
1 And they cotinued three yeres without warre betweene Syria & Israel. 2 And in the third yere dyd Iehosaphat the king of Iuda come downe to the king of Israel. 3 (And the king of Israel sayde vnto his seruauntes: Know ye not that Ramoth [in] Gilead is ours, and we sit still, and take it not out of the hande of the king of Syria?) 4 And he sayde vnto Iehosaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battayle against Ramoth [in] Gilead? 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 Jehoshaphat said, is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might inquire of him?] He suspected these to be false prophets, though he would not call them so; nor suggest that they were not the prophets of the Lord, because he would not affront Ahab, who had an opinion of them; and therefore asks, if there were no other that went under the character of a prophet of the Lord, that he might inquire of him for his further satisfaction.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jehoshaphat was dissatisfied. These men - creatures of Ahab, tainted with the worship of calves if not with Baal-worship - had promised victory, but not in the name of Yahweh. Jehoshaphat, therefore, asked, âIs there not here a true prophet of Yahweh besides these 400 professed prophets?â
