1 Kings 22:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 So the king of Israel brought together about 400 prophets. He asked them, ‘Should I attack Ramoth Gilead, or not?’ They answered, ‘Yes, go and attack it, because the Lord God will give it to you, our king.’
7 But Jehoshaphat then asked, ‘Is there any other prophet of the Lord that we could ask?’[a] 8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, ‘There is still one man. We could ask him what the Lord wants us to do. But I do not like him, because he never says that anything good will happen to me. He only says that I will have trouble. He is Imlah's son, Micaiah.’ Jehoshaphat said, ‘The king should not talk like that.’

- 22:7 Jehoshaphat probably thought that the 400 prophets were false prophets. They were only saying something that would make the king of Israel happy.
