1 Kings 22:4-6
Living Bible
4 Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked him, “Will you send your army with mine to recover Ramoth-gilead?”
And King Jehoshaphat of Judah replied, “Of course! You and I are brothers; my people are yours to command, and my horses are at your service. 5 But,” he added, “we should ask the Lord first, to be sure of what he wants us to do.”
6 So King Ahab summoned his 400 heathen prophets[a] and asked them, “Shall I attack Ramoth-gilead, or not?”
And they all said, “Yes, go ahead, for God will help you conquer it.”
