1 Kings 22:8

Jehoshaphat Of Judah Allies With Ahab Of Israel

⁷ But Jehoshaphat [doubted and] said, “Is there not another prophet of the Lord here whom we may ask?” ⁸ The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is one more man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord, but I hate him, because he never prophesies good news for me, but only evil.” But Jehoshaphat said, “May the king not say that [Micaiah only tells bad news].” ⁹ Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
