4. And he saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Dost thou go with me to battle [to] Ramoth-Gilead?' and Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `As I am, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.'
5. And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `Seek, I pray thee, to-day, the word of Jehovah;'
6. and the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, about four hundred men, and saith unto them, `Do I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I forbear?' and they say, `Go up, and the Lord doth give [it] into the hand of the king.'
7. And Jehoshaphat saith, `Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, and we seek by him?'
8. And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Yet--one man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth not prophesy concerning me good, but evil--Micaiah son of Imlah;' and Jehoshaphat saith, `Let not the king say so.'
9. And the king of Israel calleth unto a certain eunuch, and saith, `Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.'
10. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, in a threshing-floor, at the opening of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.
11. And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of iron, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, By these thou dost push the Aramaeans till they are consumed;'
12. and all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, `Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.'
