13 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, Look, the words of the prophets with one accord are favourable to the king; let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favourably. 14But Micaiah said, As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord says to me, that I will speak.
15 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain? He answered him, Go up and triumph; the Lord will give it into the hand of the king. 16But the king said to him, How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord? 17Then Micaiah* said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd; and the Lord said, These have no master; let each one go home in peace. 18The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy anything favourable about me, but only disaster?
