1 Kings 22:6-11

6 So ^athe king of Israel assembled the ^{▼▼I.e., official prophets who at that time were false}prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead or should I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.” 7 But ^cJehoshaphat said, “Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of him?” 8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy anything good regarding me, but only bad. He is Micaiah the son of Imlah.” But Jehoshaphat said, “May the king not say so.” 9 Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah quickly.” 10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting, each on his throne, dressed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and ^dall the prophets were prophesying before them. 11 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made ^ehorns of iron for himself and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘ ^fWith these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed!’”
