11:022:013 And the messenger that was gone to call
Micaiah spake unto
him,
saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare
good
unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I
pray thee,
be
like the word of one of them, and speak that which
is good.
11:022:014 And Micaiah said, As the lord liveth,
what the lord saith unto
me,
that will I speak.
11:022:015 So he came to the king. And the king
said unto him, Micaiah,
shall
we go against Ramothgilead 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.
11:022:016 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?
11:022:017 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.
11:022:018 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat,
Did I not tell
thee
that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
11:022:019 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.
11:022:020 And the lord said, Who shall persuade
Ahab, that he may go up
and
fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner,
and
another
said on that manner.
11:022:021 And there came forth a spirit, and stood
before the lord, and
said,
I will persuade him.
11:022:022 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 persude him, and prevail
also:
go forth, and do so.
11:022:023 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.
11:022:024 But Zedekiah the son of 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?
11:022:025 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see
in that day, when
thou
shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
11:022:026 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah,
and carry him back
unto
Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s
son;
11:022:027 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this
fellow in the prison,
and
feed him with bread of affliction and with water of
affliction,
until I come in peace.
