2 Chronicles 18:12-16

12Then the messengerH4397 whoH834 wentH1980 to summonH7121 MicaiahH4321 spokeH1696 to him sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 are 1unanimouslyH259H6310 favorableH2896 to the kingH4428. So pleaseH4994 let your wordH1697 be like oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 favorablyH2896.” 13But MicaiahH4321 saidH559, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, 2whateverH834 my GodH430 saysH559, I will speakH1696 it.”

14When he cameH935 to the kingH4428, the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “MicaiahH4318, should we goH1980 to battleH4421 againstH413 Ramoth-gileadH7433, orH518 should I refrainH2308?” He saidH559, “GoH5927 upH5927 and succeedH6743, for they will be handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to you!” 15Then 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?” 16So he saidH559, “I sawH7200 allH3605 IsraelH3478 ScatteredH6327 on the mountainsH2022, 3Like 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.’”
