who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
Read word by wordSo he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
Read word by wordBut Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
Read word by wordSo the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Read word by wordThe king of Israel answered, “There is still one man through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
Read word by wordSo the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
Read word by wordDressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
Read word by wordAnd all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Read word by wordThen the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
Read word by wordWhen Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Read word by wordBut the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
Read word by wordThen the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
Read word by wordAnd the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
Read word by wordand tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
