2 Chronicles 18:12-16

12Then the messengerH4397 whoH834 had goneH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 instructed himH1696, “BeholdH2009, with oneH6310 accordH259 the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 are favorableH2896 toH413 the kingH4428. So pleaseH4994 let your wordsH1697 beH1961 likeH259 theirs, and speakH1696 favorablyH2896.”

13But MicaiahH4321 saidH559, “As surely as the LORDH3068H3588 livesH2416, I will speakH1696 whateverH834 my GodH430 tells meH559.”

14When Micaiah arrivedH935, the kingH4428 askedH559 himH413, “MicaiahH4318, should we goH1980 to warH4421 againstH413 Ramoth-gileadH7418H1568, orH518 should we refrainH2308?”

“Go upH5927 and triumphH6743,” Micaiah repliedH559, “for they will be deliveredH5414 into your handH3027.”

15But the kingH4428 saidH559 to himH413, “How manyH5704H4100 timesH6471 must IH589 make you swearH7650 notH3808 to tell meH1696H413 anything butH7535 the truthH571 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068?”

16So Micaiah declaredH559:

“I sawH7200 allH3605 IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 onH5921 the hillsH2022like sheepH6629 withoutH369 a shepherdH7462.And the LORDH3068 saidH559, ‘TheseH428 people have noH3808 masterH113;let each oneH376 returnH7725 homeH1004 in peaceH7965.’”
