Context of 2 Chronicles 18:25

23Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, went to Micaiah and struck him on the cheek. “Which way did the Spirit go when he left me to talk to you?” he asked. 24Micaiah answered, “You will find out on the day you go into an inner room to hide.” The king of Israel then said, “Send Micaiah back to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, the prince. 26Say, ‘This is what the king says: Put this man in prison, and feed him nothing but bread and water until I return home safely.’ ” 27Micaiah said, “If you really do come back safely, then the Lord wasn’t speaking through me. Pay attention to this, everyone!”
