1 Kings 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 one ²  will hand it over to the king.”

1Ki 18:19; 1Ki 22:15,22,23; 2Ch 18:14; Jer 5:31; Jer 8:10,11; Jer 14:13,14; Jer 23:14-17; Jer 28:1-9; Eze 13:7-16,22; Mt 7:15; 2Ti 4:3; 2Pe 2:1-3; Re 19:20

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

² tn 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.
