2 Chronicles 18:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
5 So the king of Israel brought together 400 prophets. He asked them, ‘Should we attack Ramoth Gilead, or not?’ They answered, ‘Yes, go and attack it, because the God will give it to you, our king.’
6 But Jehoshaphat then asked, ‘Is there any other prophet of the Lord that we could ask?’[a]
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, ‘There is still one man. We could ask him what the Lord wants us to do. But I do not like him, because he never says that anything good will happen to me. He always says that I will have trouble. He is Imlah's son, Micaiah.’
Jehoshaphat said, ‘The king should not talk like that.’

- 18:6 Jehoshaphat probably thought that the 400 prophets were false prophets. They were only saying something that would make the king of Israel happy.
