The setting
Same Samaria palace, moments later. Jehoshaphat feels uneasy about unanimous agreement from 400 prophets. Modern-day West Bank, Palestine.

The original word
od (עוד) — still, yet, besides - implies 'surely there must be another'
Why it matters
Jehoshaphat knew about Micaiah because true prophets of Yahweh had networks across both kingdoms
