2 Chronicles 18 (résumé): Micaiah prophesies against Ahab

King Jehoshaphat of Judah made an unholy alliance with King Ahab of Israel and Ahab asked if Jehoshaphat would go with him in war against Ramoth Gilead. Jehoshaphat answered that first they should seek the counsel of God. So Ahab consulted 400 prophets who contaminated by a deceiving spirit all guaranteed victory in the battle. Jehoshaphat questioned the prophecy in unison so Ahab begrudgingly spoke to one further prophet named Micaiah whom he said he didn't like because he never prophesied positively in his direction. Micaiah, the prophet of the Lord, prophesied the death of Ahab in battle and the scattering of Israel's army, but he was not heeded and Ahab and Jehoshaphat went ahead to Ramoth Gilead. However Ahab disguised himself going into battle, but a random arrow had a direct hit on Ahaz between his breastplate and armour and by sunset he was dead.
