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.
19Yahweh said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? One spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20There came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said, I will entice him. Yahweh said to him, `How?`
