1 Kings 22:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there here never a Prophet of the [a]Lord more, that we might inquire of him?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man (Micaiah the son of Imlah) by whom we may ask counsel of the Lord, but [b]I hate him: for he doth not prophesy good unto me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Then the king of Israel called an [c]Eunuch, and said, Call quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.
