14:018:005 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together
of prophets
four
hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to
Ramothgilead
to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said,
Go
up;
for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.
14:018:006 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here
a prophet of the lord
besides,
that we might enquire of him?
14:018:007 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat,
There is yet one
man,
by whom we may enquire of the lord: but I
hate him; for
he
never prophesied good unto me, but always evil:
the same is
Micaiah
the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not
the
king
say so.
14:018:008 And the king of Israel called for one of
his officers, and
said,
Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
14:018:009 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat
king of Judah sat
either
of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and
they
sat
in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria;
and
all the prophets prophesied before them.
14:018:010 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made
him horns of iron,
and
said, Thus saith the lord, With these thou shalt
push
Syria
until they be consumed.
14:018:011 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying,
Go up to
Ramothgilead,
and prosper: for the lord shall deliver it
into
the
hand of the king.
14:018:012 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah
spake to him,
saying,
Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the
king
with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee,
be
like
one of their’s, and speak thou good.
14:018:013 And Micaiah said, As the lord liveth,
even what my God saith,
that
will I speak.
14:018:014 And when he was come to the king, the king
said unto him,
Micaiah,
shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I
forbear?
And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall
be
delivered
into your hand.
14:018:015 And the king said to him, How many times
shall I adjure thee
that
thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of
the
lord?
14:018:016 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered
upon the
mountains,
as sheep that have no shepherd: and the lord
said,
These
have no master; let them return therefore every man
to
his
house in peace.
14:018:017 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,
Did I not tell
thee
that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
14:018:018 Again he said, Therefore hear the word
of the lord; I saw the
lord
sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven
standing
on his right hand and on his left.
