8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire 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.

Verse 8. And the man of the corrupted church, under the external influence of truth from good, admits the existence of genuine truth in the Word, which is from the Lord in all fulness and purity; but is opposed to such truth because it condemns his evil of life; while he who is in the faith of charity is in sympathy with such truth.
