1 Kings 22:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle against Ramoth Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, [a]I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
5 Then Jehoshaphat said unto the King of Israel, [b]Ask counsel, I pray thee, of the Lord today.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the [c]prophets upon a four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I let it alone? And they said, Go up, for the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the King.
