1 Kings 22:6-8
International Standard Version
6 So the king of Israel called in about 400 prophets and asked them, “Should we go attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I call off the attack?”[a]
“Go attack them,” they all said, “because the Lord will drop them right into the king’s hand!”
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord left here that we could talk to?”
8 “There is still one man left by whom we could ask the Lord what to do,”[b] the king of Israel replied to Jehoshaphat, “but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me. Instead, he prophesies evil. He is Imla’s son Micaiah.”
But Jehoshaphat rebuked Ahab, “Kings[c] should never talk like that.”
