Context of 1 Kings 22:28

26Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the city official and Joash the king’s son. 27Say, ‘This is what the king says, “Put this man in prison. Give him only a little bread and water until I safely return.”’” Micaiah said, “If you really do safely return, then the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take note, all you people.” 29The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah attacked Ramoth Gilead. 30The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and then enter into the battle; but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and then entered into the battle.
