Context of 2 Chronicles 18:26
24And Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself." 25And the king of Israel said, "Seize Micaiah and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son, and say, 'Thus says the king, Put this fellow in prison and feed him with meager rations of bread and water until I return in peace.'" 27And Micaiah said, "If you return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me." And he said, "Hear, all you peoples!" 28So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
