1 Kings 22:6

Context
22:6 So the king of Israel assembled about four hundred prophets and asked them, “Should I attack Ramoth Gilead or not?”¹ They said, “Attack! The sovereign one² will hand it over to the king.”

1 Kings 22:8

Context
22:8 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man through whom we can seek the Lord’s will.³ But I despise⁴ him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.⁵ Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say such things.”

¹tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

²tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.

³tn Heb “to seek the Lord from him.”

⁴tn Or “hate.”

⁵tn The words “his name is” are supplied for stylistic reasons.
