1 Kings 22

The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” v.8

I always laugh at this line of Ahab out of his ridiculousness and immaturity.  You can just hear him whining and being a selfish child in it saying "I hate Micaiah because he's never nice to me" (paraphrased).  He had many false prophets that would say what he wanted to hear, prophets of Baal, and Miciaiah was the one true prophet of God who would always prophesy what Ahab didn't want to hear.  Just like Timothy says, "for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;" (2 Timothy 4:3).  Yet Jehoshaphat even knew that the prophets of Baal were false when after hearing them he still asks if there's any prophet left of the Lord to in quire of (v.7).  King Jehoshaphat (Judah) was trying to make a treaty with King Ahab (Israel) probably through a marriage (2 Chron. 18:1) and support of going to battle against Syria in this chapter, but ultimately this brought about the death of Ahab.  When have you noticed yourself listening to what you want to hear than what is actually true?  How can you know the difference?
