2 Chronicles 18:7-9

18:7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man through whom we can seek the Lord’s will. 1  But I despise 2  him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but always 3  disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. 4  Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say such things!” 18:8 The king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.”

18:9 Now the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah were sitting on their respective thrones, dressed in their royal robes, at the threshing floor at 5  the entrance of the gate of Samaria. All the prophets were prophesying before them.
