13. And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, whatever my God says, that will I speak.”
14. When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go up to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or should I cease?”He said, “All of you go up and be successful, and they will be given into your hands.”
15. Then the king said to him, “How many times must I cause you to swear that you speak to me only truth in the name of the Lord?”
16. Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep that have no shepherd. The Lord said, ‘There are no masters for them. Let each man return to his home in peace.’ ”
17. Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
18. So the prophet said, “Now hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne and the heavenly assembly was standing at His right and His left.
