Contextual Overview
1There was a lull of three years without war between Aram and Israel. 2However, in the third year, King Jehoshaphat of Judah went to visit the king of Israel. 3The king of Israel had said to his servants, “Don’t you know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we’re doing nothing to take it from the king of Aram?” 4So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight Ramoth-gilead?” 5But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “First, please ask what the Lord’s will is.” 6So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go against Ramoth-gilead for war or should I refrain?” 7But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord here anymore? Let’s ask him.” 8The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man who can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies good about me, but only disaster. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” 9So the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Hurry and get Micaiah son of Imlah!” 10Now the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, clothed in royal attire, were each sitting on his own throne. They were on the threshing floor at the entrance to the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying in front of them.
