8 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man to inquire from Yahweh, but I despise him, for he never prophesies anything good concerning me, but only bad: Micaiah the son of Imlah.” Then Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say so.”
9 The king of Israel summoned a certain court official, and he said, “Quickly fetch Micaiah son of Imlah.”
10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
11 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until finishing them.’ ”
12 All of the prophets were likewise prophesying, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and triumph, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
13 Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Please now, the words of the prophet are unanimously favorable to the king. Please let your words be as one word with them, and speak favorably.”
14 Then Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, surely only as Yahweh speaks to me, that will I speak.”
