24Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself.” 25Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son; and say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely.”’” 27Micaiah said, “If you indeed return safely, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Listen, all you people.” 28So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.
