Contextual Overview

⁴ Then he added, "But first let's consult the Lord ." ⁵ So Ahab called in the prophets, about four hundred of them, and asked them, "Should I go and attack Ramoth, or not?" "Attack it," they answered. "God will give you victory." ⁶ But Jehoshaphat asked, "Isn't there another prophet through whom we can consult the Lord ?" ⁷ Ahab answered, "There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me; it's always something bad." "You shouldn't say that!" Jehoshaphat replied. ⁸ So King Ahab called in a court official and told him to go and get Micaiah at once. ⁹ The two kings, dressed in their royal robes, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing place just outside the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying in front of them. ¹⁰ One of them, Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, made iron horns and said to Ahab, "This is what the Lord says, ‘With these you will fight the Syrians and totally defeat them.'" ¹¹ All the other prophets said the same thing. "March against Ramoth and you will win," they said. "The Lord will give you victory." ¹² Meanwhile, the official who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, "All the other prophets have prophesied success for the king, and you had better do the same." ¹³ But Micaiah answered, "By the living Lord I will say what my God tells me to!"
