Contextual Overview

⁴ But first let's ask the Lord for advice." ⁵ So Ahab called a meeting of the prophets. There were about 400 prophets at that time. Ahab asked the prophets, "Should we go and attack Ramoth Gilead or not?" The prophets answered Ahab, "Yes, because God will let you defeat Ramoth Gilead." ⁶ But Jehoshaphat said, "Doesn't the Lord have another prophet here? Let's ask him what God says." ⁷ King Ahab answered, "Yes, there is another prophet. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him. He never says anything good about me when he speaks for the Lord . He always says things that I don't like." Jehoshaphat said, "The king shouldn't say things like that!" ⁸ So King Ahab told one of his officers to go and find Micaiah. ⁹ At that time the two kings were sitting on their thrones, with their royal robes on, at the judgment place near the gates of Samaria. All the prophets were standing before them, prophesying. ¹⁰ One of the prophets was named Zedekiah son of Kenaanah. Zedekiah made some iron horns and said to Ahab, "The Lord says, ‘You will use these iron horns to fight against the army of Aram. You will defeat them and destroy them.'" ¹¹ All the other prophets agreed with Zedekiah and said, "Your army should march now to go fight against the Arameans at Ramoth Gilead. You will win the battle. The Lord will let you defeat them." ¹² While this was happening, the officer went to find Micaiah. When he found him, the officer told him, "All the other prophets have said that the king will succeed, so you should say the same thing." ¹³ But Micaiah answered, "As surely as the Lord lives, I can say only what my God says."
