And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 3 is found in chapter 22 of 1 Kings. Ahab and Jehoshaphat consider recovering Ramoth-gilead. Ahab’s court prophets announce success, while Jehoshaphat asks to consult a prophet of the Lord. Micaiah appears as an uncomfortable voice against the favorable consensus. The episode establishes a contrast between the number of prophets and the faithfulness of the word: a majority may affirm what the king wants to hear without necessarily representing God’s true message.
