2 Chronicles 18:7

NET Bible® (New English Translation)

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 always disaster–Micaiah son of Imlah.” Jehoshaphat said,“The king should not say such things!”
