24Micaiah replied, “Behold, you will see on the day that you go to hide in an inner room.” 25Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and turn him over to Amon, governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son, and say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this fellow in prison and make him eat the bread and water of affliction—until I return in shalom.”’” 27Then Micaiah said, “If you ever return in shalom, Adonai has not spoken through me.” He added: “Listen, all you people!” 28So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah marched against Ramoth-gilead.
