1 Kings 22:8

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

KJV

Et ait rex Israël ad Josaphat : Remansit vir unus per quem possumus interrogare Dominum : sed ego odi eum, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed malum : Michæas filius Jemla. Cui Josaphat ait : Ne loquaris ita, rex.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ Εἷς ἐστὶν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν κύριον δι’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ μεμίσηκα αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐ λαλεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ καλὰ ἀλλ’ ἢ κακά, Μειχαίας υἱὸς Ἰεμιάς. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα Μὴ λεγέτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως.

LXX

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah, Micaiah the son of Imlah: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
