New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
7
But Jehoshaphat said, 'Is there no longer a prophet of the
Lord
here, that we may inquire of him?'
8
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'There is still one man by whom we may inquire of the
Lord
, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy
anything
good regarding me, but
only
bad.
He is
Micaiah the son of Imlah.' But Jehoshaphat said, 'May the king not say so.'
9
Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, 'Bring Micaiah son of Imlah quickly.'
10
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting, each on his throne, dressed in
their
robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
11
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, 'This is what the
Lord
says: ‘With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed!’?'
12
All the prophets were prophesying this as well, saying, 'Go up to Ramoth-gilead and succeed, for the
Lord
will hand
it
over to the king.'
13
Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, 'Behold now, the words of the prophets are unanimously favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.'
14
But Micaiah said, 'As the
Lord
lives, whatever the
Lord
says to me, I shall speak it.'
King James Version
Chapter 22
7
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the
Lord
besides, that we might enquire of him?
8
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the
Lord
: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
10
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the
Lord
, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
12
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the
Lord
shall deliver it into the king's hand.
13
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
14
And Micaiah said, As the
Lord
liveth, what the
Lord
saith unto me, that will I speak.

Chapter 22
7
But Jehoshaphat asked, "Isn’t there a prophet of the
Lord
here anymore? Let’s ask him."
8
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man who can inquire of the
Lord
, but I hate him because he never prophesies good about me, but only disaster. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." "The king shouldn’t say that!" Jehoshaphat replied.
9
So the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Hurry and get Micaiah son of Imlah!"
10
Now the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, clothed in royal attire, were each sitting on his own throne. They were on the threshing floor at the entrance to the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying in front of them.
11
Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made iron horns and said, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘You will gore the Arameans with these until they are finished off.’"
12
And all the prophets were prophesying the same: "March up to Ramoth-gilead and succeed, for the
Lord
will hand it over to the king."
13
The messenger who went to call Micaiah instructed him, "Look, the words of the prophets are unanimously favorable for the king. So let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably."
14
But Micaiah said, "As the
Lord
lives, I will say whatever the
Lord
says to me."
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
7
But Jehoshaphat asked, 'Is there not also a prophet of the
Lord
here? We should ask him the same question.'
8
The king of Israel replied to Jehoshaphat, 'There is one more man who could consult the
Lord
for us, but I hate him. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me! His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.' Jehoshaphat replied, 'That’s not the way a king should talk! Let’s hear what he has to say.'
9
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, 'Quick! Bring Micaiah son of Imlah.'
10
King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, dressed in their royal robes, were sitting on thrones at the threshing floor near the gate of Samaria. All of Ahab’s prophets were prophesying there in front of them.
11
One of them, Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, made some iron horns and proclaimed, 'This is what the
Lord
says: With these horns you will gore the Arameans to death!'
12
All the other prophets agreed. 'Yes,' they said, 'go up to Ramoth-gilead and be victorious, for the
Lord
will give the king victory!'
13
Meanwhile, the messenger who went to get Micaiah said to him, 'Look, all the prophets are promising victory for the king. Be sure that you agree with them and promise success.'
14
But Micaiah replied, 'As surely as the
Lord
lives, I will say only what the
Lord
tells me to say.'
English Standard Version

7
But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not here another prophet of the
Lord
of whom we may inquire?"
8
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the
Lord
, Micaiah the son of Imlah, but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but evil." And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."
9
Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah."
10
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting on their thrones, arrayed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
11
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron and said, "Thus says the
Lord
, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed.’"
12
And all the prophets prophesied so and said, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph; the
Lord
will give it into the hand of the king."
13
And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, "Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king. Let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably."
14
But Micaiah said, "As the
Lord
lives, what the
Lord
says to me, that I will speak."
New International Version
Chapter 22
7
But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there no longer a prophet of the
Lord
here whom we can inquire of?"
8
The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the
Lord
, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." "The king should not say such a thing," Jehoshaphat replied.
9
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, "Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once."
10
Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
11
Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns and he declared, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.’ "
12
All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. "Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious," they said, "for the
Lord
will give it into the king’s hand."
13
The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, "Look, the other prophets without exception are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably."
14
But Micaiah said, "As surely as the
Lord
lives, I can tell him only what the
Lord
tells me."
New King James Version
Chapter 22
7
And Jehoshaphat said, “
Is there
not still a prophet of the
Lord
here, that we may inquire of Him?”
8
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “
There is
still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the
Lord
; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!”
9
Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly!”
10
The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on
their
robes, sat each on his throne, at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, “Thus says the
Lord
: ‘With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’ ”

Lord
will deliver
it
into the king’s hand.”

14
And Micaiah said, “
As
the
Lord
lives, whatever the
Lord
says to me, that I will speak.”
