And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

NEVER, adverb
1. Not ever; not at any time; at no time. It refers to the past or the future. This man was never at Calcutta; he will never be there.
2. It has a particular use in the following sentences.
Ask me never so much dower and gift. Genesis 34:12.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. Psalms 58:5.
A fear of battery-though never so well grounded, is no duress.
This is a genuine English use of never found in our Saxon authors, and it ought to be retained. Ask me so much dower as never was done; that is, dower to any extent. The practice of using ever in such phrases, is corrupt. It not only destroys the force but the propriety of the phrase.
3. In no degree; not.
Whoever has a friend to guide him, may carry his eyes in another mans head and yet see never the worse.
4. It is used for not. He answered him never a word; that is, not ever. This use is not common.
5. It is much used in composition; as in never-ending, never-failing, never-dying, never-ceasing, never-fading; but in all such compounds, never retains its true meaning.
