24Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.” 25And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son, and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’” 27But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!” 28So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
