Imlah
The father of the prophet Micaiah, mentioned during the reign of King Ahab.
Imlah is identified solely as the father of the prophet Micaiah in 1 Kings 22:8 and 2 Chronicles 18:8. His name appears only in the context of identifying his son, who courageously delivered a true prophecy of judgment against King Ahab despite opposition from false prophets. Scripture provides no further biographical details regarding Imlah's life or ministry.
