And Iehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. 5And Iehoshaphat said vnto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day. 6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together about foure hundred men, and said vnto them, Shall I goe against Ramoth Gilead to battell, or shall I forbeare? And they said, Goe vp, for the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the king. 7And Iehoshaphat said, Is there not here a Prophet of the Lord besides, that we might enquire of him?
