10 However, Aʹsa became offended at the seer and put him in the house of the stocks,+ because he was in a rage at him over this.+ And Aʹsa began to crush+ some others of the people at that same time.

7 At that the king of Israel said to Je·hoshʹa·phat:+ “There is still one man+ through whom to inquire of Jehovah, but I myself certainly hate him,+ for he is prophesying concerning me, not for good, but, all his days, for bad.+ He is Mi·caiʹah* the son of Imʹlah.”+ However, Je·hoshʹa·phat said: “Do not let the king say a thing like that.”+

19 And he kept sending prophets+ among them to bring them back to Jehovah; and they kept bearing witness* against them, but they did not give ear.+

21 Therefore this is what Jehovah has said against the men of Anʹa·thoth+ who are seeking for your soul,* saying: “You must not prophesy in the name of Jehovah,+ that you may not die at our hand”;

11 And the priests and the prophets began to say to the princes and to all the people: “To this man* the judgment of death belongs,+ because he has prophesied concerning this city just as YOU have heard with YOUR own ears.”+

17 Nevertheless, in order that it may not be spread abroad further among the people, let us tell them with threats not to speak anymore upon the basis of this name to any man at all.”+
