Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

Verse 6 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.

Entonces el rey de Israel juntó los profetas, como cuatrocientos hombres, a los cuales dijo: ¿Iré a la guerra contra Ramoth de Galaad, o la dejaré? Y ellos dijeron: Sube; porque el Señor la entregará en mano del rey.
El rey de Israel reunió a los profetas, unos cuatrocientos hombres, y les preguntó: «¿Debo subir a luchar contra Ramot de Galaad o desistir?». Ellos respondieron: «Sube; el Señor la entregará en manos del rey».
Le roi d'Israël assembla les prophètes, au nombre d'environ quatre cents, et leur dit: Irai-je attaquer Ramoth en Galaad, ou dois-je y renoncer? Et ils répondirent: Monte, et le Seigneur la livrera entre les mains du roi.
E il re d’Israele adunò i profeti, in numero d’intorno a quattrocent’uomini, e disse loro: Andrò io alla guerra contro a Ramot di Galaad; ovvero, me ne rimarrò io? Ed essi dissero: Vacci; e il Signore la darà nelle mani del re.
Então o rei de Israel reuniu os profetas até quase quatrocentos homens, e disse-lhes: Irei à peleja contra Ramote de Gileade, ou deixarei de ir? E eles disseram: Sobe, porque o SENHOR a entregará na mão do rei.
