Micaiah

The one prophet who told Ahab the truth when 400 others told him what he wanted to hear — and got jailed for it

About

A prophet in Israel during King Ahab's reign who was known for speaking only what God told him — even when it was unwelcome. When 400 court prophets unanimously predicted victory at Ramoth-gilead, Micaiah alone delivered God's true word: Ahab would die in battle. He was slapped by the false prophet Zedekiah and imprisoned by Ahab, but his prophecy proved true when a random arrow killed the disguised king.

One Voice in the Crowd

2 Chronicles 18:4-7

Micaiah is introduced here as the one prophet Ahab despises — the single voice excluded from the four-hundred-man chorus because he refuses to tailor his message to what the king wants to hear.
