2 Chronicles 18:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ So the king of Israel called 400 prophets together. He asked them, “Should we go to war against Ramoth in Gilead or not?”

“Go,” they said. “God will hand over Ramoth to you.”

⁶ But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord whom we could ask?”

⁷ The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “We can ask the Lord through Micaiah, son of Imla, but I hate him. Nothing he prophesies about me is good; it’s always evil.”

Jehoshaphat answered, “The king must not say that.”
