Micaiah
Blue v4-8 Ch 22 1 Kgsv4-5 Jehoshaphat wanted the King of Israel first to seek the counsel of the LORD before jumping with him into war but out of the 400 prophets Jehoshaphat just couldn't swallow their answer (v6).
v7-8 Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there not a prophet of the LORD here whom we can inquire of?" The king answered, "There is still one man through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but i hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah." "The king should not say that," Jehoshaphat replied.
~Amazing how the king knew Micaiah was a prophet of the LORD yet could still say that about him... you can't hear any fear of the LORD in it. It's also amazing that Jehoshaphat is claiming unity with this king in v4 "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
~Love and Hate have this in common, both are blind but only one choses to be.
