But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord still here, that we may ask him?”

Elijah said to them: “I am the only prophet of the Lord who is left, but there are 450 prophets of Baal.

The old prophet then said, “I too am a prophet like you. An angel told me with the Lord’s authority, ‘Bring him back with you to your house so he can eat and drink.’” But he was lying to him.

Now a prophet visited King Ahab of Israel and said, “This is what the Lord says, ‘Do you see this huge army? Look, I am going to hand it over to you this very day. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
