Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.

And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? / And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
