Contextual Overview

⁴But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “First, please ask what the Lord’s will is.” ⁵So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and asked them, “Should we go to Ramoth-gilead for war or should I refrain?” ⁶But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord here anymore? Let’s ask him.” ⁷The 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.” ⁸So the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Hurry and get Micaiah son of Imlah!”⁹Now the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, clothed in royal attire, were each sitting on his own throne. They were sitting on the threshing floor at the entrance to Samaria’s gate, and all the prophets were prophesying in front of them. ¹⁰Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made iron horns and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You will gore the Arameans with these until they are finished off.’” ¹¹And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “March up to Ramoth-gilead and succeed, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.” ¹²The messenger who went to call Micaiah instructed him, “Look, the words of the prophets are unanimously favorable for the king. So let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.” ¹³But Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, I will say whatever my God says.”
