  • 1 Kgs 22:6-9 : 6 So the king of Israel assembled about four hundred prophets and asked them,“Should I attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” They said,“Attack! The Sovereign One will hand it over to the king.” 7 But Jehoshaphat asked,“Is there not a prophet of the LORD still here, that we may ask him?” 8 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat,“There is still one man through whom we can seek the LORD’s will. But I despise him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.” Jehoshaphat said,“The king should not say such things.” 9 The king of Israel summoned an official and said,“Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.” 10 Now the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah were sitting on their respective thrones, dressed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria. All the prophets were prophesying before them. 11 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made iron horns and said,“This is what the LORD has said,‘With these you will gore Syria until they are destroyed.’” 12 All the prophets were prophesying the same, saying,“Attack Ramoth Gilead! You will succeed; the LORD will hand it over to the king.” 13 Now the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him,“Look, the prophets are in complete agreement that the king will succeed. Your words must agree with theirs; you must predict success.” 14 But Micaiah said,“As certainly as the LORD lives, I will say what the LORD tells me to say.” 15 When he came before the king, the king asked him,“Micaiah, should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” He answered him,“Attack! You will succeed; the LORD will hand it over to the king.”
  • 1 Kgs 22:32-36 : 32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said,“He must be the king of Israel.” So they turned and attacked him, but Jehoshaphat cried out. 33 When the chariot commanders realized he was not the king of Israel, they turned away from him. 34 Now an archer shot an arrow at random, and it struck the king of Israel between the plates of his armor. The king ordered his charioteer,“Turn around and take me from the battle line, because I’m wounded.” 35 While the battle raged throughout the day, the king stood propped up in his chariot opposite the Syrians. He died in the evening; the blood from the wound ran down into the bottom of the chariot. 36 As the sun was setting, a cry went through the camp,“Each one should return to his city and to his homeland.”
  • 2 Chr 35:22 : 22 But Josiah did not turn back from him; he disguised himself for battle. He did not take seriously the words of Necho which he had received from God; he went to fight him in the Plain of Megiddo.
