1 Kings 22:4-8
New American Standard Bible
5However, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, 'Please request the word of the Lord first.'
6So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, 'Should I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead or should I refrain?' And they said, 'Go up, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.'
7But Jehoshaphat said, 'Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of him?'
8And 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.'

Chapter 22
4And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 5And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 7And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him? 8And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire 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.Christian Standard Bible
