Contextual Overview

⁴ Then Jehoshaphat added, "First seek an oracle from the Lord ." ⁵ So the king of Israel assembled 400 prophets and asked them, "Should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?" They said, "Attack! God will hand it over to the king." ⁶ But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there not a prophet of the Lord still here, that we may ask him?" ⁷ The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man through whom we can seek the Lord 's will. But I despise him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but always disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. Jehoshaphat said, "The king should not say such things!" ⁸ The king of Israel summoned an officer and said, "Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah." ⁹ Now the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah were sitting on their respective thrones, dressed in their royal robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria. All the prophets were prophesying before them. ¹⁰ Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made iron horns and said, "This is what the Lord says, ‘With these you will gore Syria until they are destroyed!'" ¹¹ All the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, "Attack Ramoth Gilead! You will succeed; the Lord will hand it over to the king!" ¹² Now the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, "Look, the prophets are in complete agreement that the king will succeed. Your words must agree with theirs; you must predict success!" ¹³ But Micaiah said, "As certainly as the Lord lives, I will say what my God tells me to say!"
