And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 18 of 2 Chronicles. Jehoshaphat asks to consult God before entering battle, while Ahab’s prophets announce success. The insistence on finding a prophet of God reveals the difference between religious messages adapted to the king’s wishes and independent prophetic word. The scene prepares for the appearance of Micaiah.

Der König Israels sprach zu Josaphat: Es ist noch ein Mann, daß man den HERRN durch ihn frage, aber ich bin ihm gram; denn er weissagt über mich kein Gutes, sondern allewege Böses, nämlich Micha, der Sohn Jemlas. Josaphat sprach: der König rede nicht also.
Y el rey de Israel respondió a Josaphat: Aun hay aquí un hombre por el cual podemos preguntar a Jehová: mas yo le aborrezco, porque nunca me profetiza cosa buena, sino siempre mal. Este es Michêas, hijo de Imla. Y respondió Josaphat: No hable así el rey.
El rey de Israel respondió a Josafat: «Todavía hay un hombre por medio del cual podemos consultar a Jehová, pero yo lo odio, porque no profetiza para mí nada bueno, sino siempre mal. Es Micaías, hijo de Imla». Josafat respondió: «No hable así el rey».
Le roi d'Israël répondit à Josaphat: Il y a encore un homme par qui l'on pourrait consulter l'Eternel; mais je le hais, car il ne me prophétise rien de bon, il ne prophétise jamais que du mal: c'est Michée, fils de Jimla. Et Josaphat dit: Que le roi ne parle pas ainsi!
E il re d’Israele disse a Giosafat: Ei vi è bene ancora un uomo, per lo quale potremmo domandare il Signore; ma io l’odio; perciocchè egli non mi profetizza giammai in bene, ma sempre in male; egli è Mica, figliuolo d’Imla. E Giosafat disse: Il re non dica così.
Então o rei de Israel disse a Jeosafá: Ainda há um homem por quem podemos consultar ao SENHOR; porém eu o odeio, porque nunca profetiza de mim o que é bom, senão sempre o mal; este é Micaías, filho de Inlá. E disse Jeosafá: Não fale o rei assim.
以色列 王對 約沙法 說:「還有一個人,是 音拉 的兒子 米該雅 ,我們可以託他求問耶和華。只是我真的很恨他,因為他對我說預言,從不說吉言,總是說凶信。」 約沙法 說:「請王不要這麼說。」
