And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so — Ahab mentions Micaiah, a prophet he despises because Micaiah prophesies evil rather than good about him. The phrase shows the king's hostility toward a prophet whose words displease him. Jehoshaphat objects to this characterization.
