And he answered him, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war. 4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Please inquire for the word of the LORD today. 5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain? And they said, Go up, for God will deliver it into the king's hand. 6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here another prophet of the LORD, that we might inquire of him? 7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, for he never prophesies good to me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 8 And the king of Israel called for an officer, and said, Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat each on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron, and said, Thus says the LORD, With these you shall push Syria until they be destroyed. 11 And all the prophets prophesied the same, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the king's hand. 12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one accord; let your word, I pray you, be like one of theirs, and speak good. 13 And Micaiah said, As the LORD lives, what my God says, that will I speak. 14 And when he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain? And he said, Go up, and prosper; they shall be delivered into your hand. 15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD? 16 Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let each return to his house in peace. 17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good to me, but evil? 18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spoke saying in this manner, and another saying in that manner. 20 Then a spirit came forward, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said to him, How? 21 And he said, I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, You shall entice him, and you shall also prevail; go out, and do so. 22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the LORD has declared disaster against you. 23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you? 24 And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself. 25 Then the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; 26 And say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread and water of affliction, until I return in peace. 27 And Micaiah said, If you certainly return in peace, then the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Listen, all you people.
