Contextual Overview

4 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Ask first for word from the Lord." 5 So the king of Israel gathered together the 400 men who told what would happen in the future. He said to them, "Should we go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or should I wait?" And they said, "Go up, for God will give it into the hand of the king." 6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not another man who speaks for the Lord here whom we may ask?" 7 The king of Israel said to him, "There is yet one man whom we may ask of the Lord. But I hate him. For he never tells me anything good, only bad. He is Micaiah, the son of Imla." But Jehoshaphat said, "You should not say that." 8 Then the king of Israel called for one of his captains and said, "Hurry, bring Micaiah the son of Imla." 9 The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in king's clothing. They were sitting at the grain-floor at the gate of Samaria. All the men who told what would happen in the future were speaking in front of them. 10 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, "The Lord says that with these you will hurt the Syrians until they are destroyed." 11 All the men who told what would happen in the future were saying, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and win the battle. For the Lord will give it into the hand of the king." 12 Then the man who was sent to call Micaiah said to him, "See, all the men who tell what will happen in the future are speaking in the king's favor. So I ask that you let your word be like one of them, and speak in the king's favor." 13 But Micaiah said, "As the Lord lives, I will speak what my God says."
