Imlah, father of the prophet Micaiah who opposed Ahab's false prophets
A personal name identifying the father of the prophet Micaiah, who famously opposed four hundred court prophets by predicting Ahab's death at Ramoth-gilead (1 Kgs 22:8–9; 2 Chr 18:7–8). The name appears only in the formula 'Micaiah son of Imlah,' which functions as a patronymic to distinguish this Micaiah from others. The alternate spelling יִמְלָא in Chronicles preserves the same name with a slight orthographic variation.

Senses
1. sense 1 — The proper name of the prophet Micaiah's father, used exclusively in the patronymic 'Micaiah son of Imlah' across both Kings and Chronicles. English and Spanish transliterate as 'Imlah'/'Imla' and 'Yimlah'/'Yimla,' while French and German retain the Hebrew in brackets for the Chronicles variant (יִמְלָא). All four occurrences frame the dramatic scene where Micaiah alone speaks Yahweh's true word against Ahab (1 Kgs 22:8–9; 2 Chr 18:7–8). 4×
