Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, 'I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.' 5 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, 'Please, first seek an answer from the LORD today.' 6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, 'Should I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or not?' They said, 'Go up, and the Lord will give it into the king’s hands.' 7 But Jehoshaphat asked, 'Is there not another prophet of the LORD here whom we can inquire of?' 8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'There is still one man through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, only bad. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.' Jehoshaphat replied, 'The king should not say such a thing.' 9 So the king of Israel called an officer and said, 'Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.' 10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were sitting on their thrones, dressed in their royal robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance to the gate of Samaria, while all the prophets were prophesying in front of them. 11 Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made iron horns, and he declared, 'This is what the LORD says: With these, you will gore the Arameans until they are completely destroyed.' 12 And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, 'Go up to Ramoth Gilead and triumph, for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.' 13 The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, 'Behold, all the prophets are declaring good things to the king with one voice. Please let your word agree with theirs and say something favorable.' 14 But Micaiah said, 'As surely as the LORD lives, I can only speak what the LORD tells me.' 15 When Micaiah arrived before the king, the king said to him, 'Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we refrain?' Micaiah answered, 'Go and succeed, for the LORD will give it into the king’s hand.' 16 But the king said to him, 'How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?' 17 Then Micaiah said, 'I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, “These people have no master; each one should go home in peace.”' 18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'Didn’t I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, only bad?' 19 Micaiah continued, 'Therefore, hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, with all the host of heaven standing around Him on His right and on His left.' 20 And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One suggested this, and another suggested that. 21 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ 22 ‘By what means?’ the LORD asked. 'I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. The LORD replied, 'You will succeed in enticing him. Go and do it.' 23 So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has decreed disaster for you. 24 Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah on the cheek and demanded, 'Which way did the spirit of the LORD go when he left me to speak to you?' 25 Micaiah replied, 'You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room.' 26 Then the king of Israel ordered, 'Take Micaiah and return him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, the king’s son.' 27 And say, ‘This is what the king says: Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water of affliction until I return safely.’ 28 Micaiah said, 'If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.' Then he added, 'Pay attention, all you people!' 29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went up to Ramoth Gilead. 30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.' So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle. 31 Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two chariot commanders, 'Do not fight with anyone, whether small or great, except the king of Israel alone.' 32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, 'Surely this is the king of Israel.' So they turned to attack him. But Jehoshaphat cried out for help. 33 When the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they stopped pursuing him. 34 But someone randomly drew his bow and struck the king of Israel between the sections of his armor. The king told his chariot driver, 'Turn around and get me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded.' 35 The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. But he died that evening, and the blood from his wound ran onto the floor of the chariot.
