1 Kings chapter 22 Ahab and the false prophets for three years Syria and Israel continued without war

but in the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel and the king of

Israel said to his servants do you know that Rameth Gilead belongs to us and we keep quiet and do not

take it out of the hand of the King of Syria.

And he said to Jehoshaphat, will you go with me to battle at Reimuth Gilead?

And Jehoshaphat said to the King of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

And Jehoshaphat said to the King of Israel, inquire first for the word of the Lord.

Then the King of Israel gathered the prophets together, about 400 men, and said to them,

shall I go to battle against Rameth Gilead, or shall I refrain? And they said, go up, for the Lord will

give it into the hand of the king. But Jehoshaphat said,

Is there not here another prophet of the Lord of whom we may inquire?

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,

there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord,

Makaya, the son of Imla, but I hate him,

for he never prophesies good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said,

Let not the king say so. Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said,

Bring quickly Makaya, the son of Imla. Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah,

were sitting on their thrones, arrayed in their robes at the threshing floor at the entrance of

the gate of samaria and all the prophets were prophesying before them and zedekiah the son of caneana

made for himself horns of iron and said thus says the lord with these you shall push the syrians

until they are destroyed and all the prophets prophesied so and said, Go up to Rameth Gilead and triumph.

The Lord will give it into the hand of the king.
