Exegesis
The naming mikhayhu ben-yimlah {מִיכָיְהוּ בֶן־יִמְלָא | mî-khā-yə-hū ben yim-lāʾ} and the warning al-yomar hamelech ken {אַל־יֹאמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ כֵּן | ʾal yō-mar ham-mé-lekh kēn} frame the tension between the ruler and the lone prophet.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:7
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There remains one man through whom we may inquire of the LORD , but I hate him, for he never prophesies good for me—only evil —Micaiah son of Imlah.” Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king speak that way.”
