1 Kings 22:14-28
14But MicaiahH4321 saidH559, “1As the LordH3068 livesH2416, whateverH3588H834 2the LordH3068 saysH559 to me, I shall speakH1696 it.”
15When he cameH935 to the kingH4428, the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “MicaiahH4321, should we goH1980 to battleH4421 againstH413 Ramoth-gileadH7433, orH518 should we refrainH2308?” And he saidH559, “3GoH5927 upH5927 and succeedH6743, for the LordH3068 will handH5414H3027 it overH5414 to the kingH4428!” 16Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “HowH5704H4100 manyH5704H4100 timesH6471 must I makeH7650 you swearH7650 that you will tellH1696 me nothingH3808 but the truthH571 in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068?” 17So he saidH559, “I sawH7200 allH3605 IsraelH3478 ScatteredH6327 on the mountainsH2022, 4Like sheepH6629 that haveH369 noH369 shepherdH7462. And the LordH3068 saidH559, ‘TheseH428 people have noH3808 masterH113. EachH376 of them is to returnH7725 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.’” 18Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, “5Did I not tellH559 you that he would not prophesyH5012 anything goodH2896 regardingH5921 me, but only badH7451?”
19And Micaiah saidH559, “ThereforeH3651, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068. 6I sawH7200 the LordH3068 sittingH3427 on His throneH3678, and 7allH3605 the 8angelsH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by Him on His rightH3225 and on His leftH8040. 20And the LordH3068 saidH559, ‘WhoH4310 will 9enticeH6601 AhabH256 to goH5927 upH5927 and fallH5307 at Ramoth-gileadH7433?’ And oneH2088 spirit saidH559 thisH3541, while anotherH2088 saidH559 that. 21Then a spiritH7307 cameH3318 forwardH3318 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, and saidH559, ‘I will 10enticeH6601 him.’ 22And the LordH3068 saidH559 to him, ‘HowH4100?’ And he saidH559, ‘I will goH3318 outH3318 and 11be a deceivingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthsH6310 of allH3605 his prophetsH5030.’ Then He saidH559, ‘You shall 12enticeH6601 him, and you will alsoH1571 prevailH3201. GoH3318 and doH6213 soH3651.’ 23NowH6258 then, beholdH2009, 13the LordH3068 has putH5414 a deceivingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of allH3605 theseH428 prophetsH5030 of yours; and the LordH3068 has declaredH1696 disasterH7463 againstH5921 you.”
24Then 14ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 approachedH5066 and struckH5221 MicaiahH4321 on the cheekH3895; and he saidH559, “15HowH335H2088 did the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 passH5674 from me to speakH1696 to you?” 25And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, you are going to seeH7200 how on that dayH3117 whenH834 you 16goH935 from one innerH2315 roomH2315 to 17anotherH2315 trying to hideH2244 yourself.” 26Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, “TakeH3947 MicaiahH4321 and returnH7725 him to AmonH526 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3060 the king’sH4428 sonH1121; 27and sayH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 saysH559: “18PutH7760 thisH2088 man in prisonH1004H3608, and feedH398 him enoughH3906 breadH3899 and waterH4325 toH3906 surviveH3906 untilH5704 I 19returnH935 safelyH7965.”’” 28But MicaiahH4321 saidH559, “20IfH518 you actuallyH7725 returnH7725 21safelyH7965, the LordH3068 has not spokenH1696 by me.” And he saidH559, “22ListenH8085, allH3605 you peopleH5971!”
