Context of 2 Chronicles 18:26
24And Micaiah said, “Behold, you are going to see how on that day when you go from one inner room to another trying 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, ‘This is what the king says: “Put this man in prison, and feed him enough bread and water to survive until I return safely.”’” 27But Micaiah said, “If you actually 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.
