Exegesis
Venidroshah {וְנִדְרְשָׁ֖ה | wə-nidrəššāh}, a Niphal cohortative first person plural, expresses the king’s intent to seek guidance, and is completed by me’ohto {מֵאֹתֽוֹ | mê-ʾōṯô} ‘from him’, defining the source. In English, the cohortative becomes a purpose clause (“whom we may inquire of” / “whom we can ask”) to preserve the Hebrew sense of initiative.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:6
But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here besides whom we may inquire of?”
