1 Kings 22:8 in Context — 1 Kings 22
6 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.
7 Mais Josaphat dit: N’y a-t-il plus ici aucun prophète de l’Éternel, par qui nous puissions le consulter?
8 Le roi d’Israël répondit à Josaphat: Il y a encore un homme par qui l’on pourrait consulter l’Éternel; mais je le hais, car il ne me prophétise rien de bon, il ne prophétise que du mal: c’est Michée, fils de Jimla. Et Josaphat dit: Que le roi ne parle pas ainsi!
9 Alors le roi d’Israël appela un eunuque, et dit: Fais venir de suite Michée, fils de Jimla.
10 Le roi d’Israël et Josaphat, roi de Juda, étaient assis chacun sur son trône, revêtus de leurs habits royaux, dans la place à l’entrée de la porte de Samarie. Et tous les prophètes prophétisaient devant eux.
