Context of 2 Chronicles 18:14
12The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “The prophets have all told the king the same good message. Make your message agree with their message. Say something good.” 13Micaiah answered, “I solemnly swear, as the Lord lives, I will tell him whatever my God says to me.” When he came to the king, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth in Gilead or not?” Micaiah said, “Attack and you will win. They will be handed over to you.” 15The king asked him, “How many times must I make you take an oath in the Lord’s name to tell me nothing but the truth?” 16So Micaiah said, “I saw Israel’s troops scattered in the hills like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These sheep have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’ ”
