καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ ἔτι ἀνὴρ εἷς τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον δι' αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ ἐμίσησα αὐτόν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν προφητεύων περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἀγαθά ὅτι πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ εἰς κακά οὗτος Μιχαιας υἱὸς Ιεμλα καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ μὴ λαλείτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'There is still one man through whom to seek the LORD, but I hate him, because he never prophesies concerning me for good, but all his days for evil. He is Micaiah son of Imla.' And Jehoshaphat said, 'Let not the king speak thus.'
The king's complaint reveals that he measures prophecy by political usefulness rather than truth.
