Context
3Mfalme wa Israeli alikuwa amewaambia maafisa wake, “Je, hamjui Ramoth-Gileadi ni mali yetu na bado hatufanyi chochote kuirudisha kwetu kutoka kwa mfalme wa Aramu?” 4Kwa hiyo akamuuliza Yehoshafati, “Je, utakwenda pamoja nami kupigana dhidi ya Ramoth-Gileadi?”
Yehoshafati akamjibu mfalme wa Israeli, “Mimi ni kama wewe, watu wangu ni kama watu wako, farasi wangu ni kama farasi wako.” 5Lakini Yehoshafati pia akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Kwanza tafuta shauri la Bwana.” 6Kwa hiyo mfalme wa Israeli akawaleta pamoja manabii wanaume wapatao mia nne, akawauliza, “Je, niende vitani dhidi ya Ramoth-Gileadi, au niache?”
Wakajibu, “Naam, nenda, kwa kuwa Bwana ataiweka Ramoth-Gileadi mkononi mwa mfalme.” 7Lakini Yehoshafati akauliza, “Je, hayuko nabii wa Bwana hapa ambaye tunaweza kumuuliza?”
