* So he came to the king . And the king said unto him , Micaiah , shall we go against Ramothgilead Ramowth # to battle , or shall we forbear ? And he answered him , Go , and prosper : for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king . * And the king said unto him , How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD ? * And he said , I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills , as sheep that have not a shepherd : and the LORD said , These have no master : let them return every man to his house in peace . * And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat , Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me , but evil ? * And he said , Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD : I saw the LORD sitting on his throne , and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left s @mo #wl #. * And the LORD said , Who shall persuade Ahab #Ach #ab #, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead Ramowth # Gil #ad #? And one said on this manner , and another said on that manner . * And there came forth a spirit , and stood before the LORD , and said , I will persuade him . * And the LORD said unto him , Wherewith ? And he said , I will go forth , and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets . And he said , Thou shalt persuade him , and prevail also : go forth , and do so . * Now therefore , behold , the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets , and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee . * But Zedekiah the son 01121of Chenaanah went near , and smote Micaiah on the cheek , and said , Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee ? * And Micaiah said , Behold , thou shalt see in that day , when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself . * And the king of Israel said , Take Micaiah , and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city , and to Joash the kings son ; * And say , Thus saith the king , Put this fellow in the prison bayith #, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction , until I come in peace . * And Micaiah said , If thou return at all in peace , the LORD hath not spoken by me . And he said , Hearken , O people , every one of you .
