Jehoshaphat replied, 'I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will join you in the battle.' 4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, 'Please, first seek the word of the LORD today.' 5 So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and asked them, 'Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should I refrain?' They answered, 'Go up, for God will give it into the hand of the king.' 6 But Jehoshaphat asked, 'Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here whom we can inquire of?' 7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'There is still one man we can inquire of the LORD through, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, only bad. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.' Jehoshaphat said, 'The king should not say such things.' 8 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, 'Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.' 9 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, dressed in their royal robes, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them. 10 Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made iron horns and declared, 'This is what the LORD says: With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.' 11 All the other prophets were prophesying the same, saying, 'Go up to Ramoth Gilead and be victorious, for the LORD will give it into the king's hand.' 12 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, 'Look, the other prophets are all in agreement, predicting success for the king. Let your word be like theirs and speak favorably.' 13 But Micaiah said, 'As surely as the LORD lives, I will say whatever my God says to me.' 14 When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, 'Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should I refrain?' 'Attack and be victorious,' he answered, 'for they will be given into your hand.' 15 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?' 16 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; let each one go home in peace."' 17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'Didn't I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?' 18 Micaiah continued, 'Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, with all the host of heaven standing on his right and on his left.' 19 And the LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?' One suggested this, and another that. 20 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, 'I will entice him.' 'By what means?' the LORD asked. 21 He said, 'I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.' The LORD said, 'You will succeed in enticing him. Go and do it.' 22 So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you. 23 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. 'Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when he left me to speak to you?' he asked. 24 Micaiah replied, 'You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room.' 25 The king of Israel then ordered, 'Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the city, and to Joash, the king's son.' 26 And say, "This is what the king says: Put this man in prison and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely." 27 Micaiah declared, 'If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.' Then he added, 'Mark my words, all you people!'
