1 Kings 22:5-7
The Voice
5 But first, ask the Eternal for His wisdom and guidance in this matter.
6 Israel’s king assembled the 400 prophets.
Ahab: Should I wage war against Ramoth-gilead or not?
Prophets: Yes, you should. The Lord will give the king victory in this matter.
Jehoshaphat: 7 I need counsel. Is there a prophet of the Eternal present whom we can ask for advice?
1 Kings 22:5-7
New International Version
5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “First seek the counsel(A) of the Lord.”
6 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets—about four hundred men—and asked them, “Shall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?”
“Go,”(B) they answered, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.”(C)
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no longer a prophet(D) of the Lord here whom we can inquire(E) of?”
