LEB(i)
2 It happened in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to the king of Israel,
3 and the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know Ramoth-Gilead belongs to us, and we are doing nothing about taking it from the hand of the king of Aram?"
4 Then he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to the battle for Ramoth-Gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "⌊I am like you⌋;* ⌊my people are like your people⌋;* ⌊my horses are like your horses⌋."*
5 Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire for the word of Yahweh today."
6 Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead for the battle, or should I refrain?" Then they said, "Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king."
7 So Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no prophet of Yahweh here that we might still inquire from him?"
8 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man to inquire from Yahweh, but I despise him, for he never prophesies anything good concerning me, but only bad: Micaiah the son of Imlah." Then Jehoshaphat said, "The king should not say so."
9 The king of Israel summoned a certain court official, and he said, "Quickly fetch Micaiah son of Imlah."
