5. So Ahab called a meeting of the prophets. There were about 400 prophets at that time. Ahab asked the prophets, “Should we go and attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” The prophets answered Ahab, “Yes, because God will let you defeat Ramoth Gilead.”
6. But Jehoshaphat said, “Doesn’t the Lord have another prophet here? Let’s ask him what God says.”
7. King Ahab answered, “Yes, there is another prophet. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him. He never says anything good about me when he speaks for the Lord. He always says things that I don’t like.” Jehoshaphat said, “The king shouldn’t say things like that!”
