2 CHRONICLES 18:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
“Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.”
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred of them, and said to them, 'Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?' And they said, 'Go up; for God will give it into the hand of the king' — Ahab assembled 'four hundred prophets' (וַיִּקְבֹּץ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַנְּבִיאִים אַרְבַּע־מֵאוֹת) who unanimously advised war (עֲלוּ כִּי־יִתְּנָהּ אֱלֹהִים בְּיַד־הַמֶּלֶךְ). The prophetic consensus was unanimity—a theological red-flag indicating false prophecy or manipulation.
