12The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one mouth: let your word therefore, Please be like one of theirs, and speak you good.
13Micaiah said, As Yahweh lives, what my God says, that will I speak.
14When he was come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? He said, Go you up, and prosper; and they shall be delivered into your hand.
15The king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?
16He said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Yahweh said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
17The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Didn`t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?
18[Micaiah] said, Therefore hear you the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
