Contextual Overview

⁴ But Y'hoshafat said to the king of Isra'el, "First, we should seek the word of Adonai ." ⁵ So the king of Isra'el assembled the prophets, 400 men. "Should we attack Ramot-Gil‘ad?" he asked them, "Or should I hold off?" They said, "Attack. God will hand it over to the king." ⁶ But Y'hoshafat said, "Besides these, isn't there a prophet of Adonai here that we can consult?" ⁷ The king of Isra'el said to Y'hoshafat, "Yes, there is still one man through whom we can consult Adonai ; but I hate him, because he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad! It's Mikhay'hu the son of Yimlah." Y'hoshafat replied, "The king shouldn't say such a thing." ⁸ Then the king called an officer and said, "Quickly! Bring Mikhay'hu the son of Yimlah." ⁹ Now the king of Isra'el and Y'hoshafat the king of Y'hudah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in their royal robes; they were sitting in a threshing-floor at the entrance to the gate of Shomron; and all the prophets were there, prophesying in their presence. ¹⁰ Tzidkiyah the son of Kena‘anah had made himself some horns out of iron and said, "This is what Adonai says: ‘With these you will gore Aram until they are destroyed.'" ¹¹ All the prophets prophesied the same thing: "Go up and attack Ramot-Gil‘ad. You will succeed, because Adonai will hand it over to the king." ¹² The messenger who had gone to call Mikhay'hu said to him, "Here, now, the prophets are unanimously predicting success for the king. Please let your word be like one of theirs — say something good." ¹³ But Mikhay'hu answered, "As Adonai lives, whatever my God says is what I will say."
