Contextual Overview
4Moreover, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh." 5Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for God will give it into the hand of the king." 6But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of Yahweh here that we may inquire of him?" 7And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me but always evil. He is Micaiah, son of Imla." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so." 8Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Hasten to bring Micaiah son of Imla." 9Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, clothed in their royal garments, and they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them. 10And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, "Thus says Yahweh, ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are consumed.'" 11All the prophets were also prophesying thus, saying, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and succeed, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king." 12Now the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, "Behold, the words of the prophets, as if from one mouth, are good to the king. So please let your word be like one of them and speak that which is good." 13But Micaiah said, "As Yahweh lives, what my God says, that I shall speak."
