1 Kings 22:9

7 And ^aJehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of¹ Him?”

8 So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!”

9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly!”

10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

11 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made ^ahorns of iron for himself; and he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘With these you shall ^bgore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’ ”

The king of Israel called an officer - saris , literally a eunuch; probably a foreigner, for it was not lawful to disgrace an Israelite by reducing him to such a state.
