1 Kings 22:14-28

Bible Text

[14] Micaiah said, As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that will I speak. [15] When he was come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him, Go up and prosper; and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king. [16] The king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh? [17] He said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Yahweh said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace. [18] The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Didn't I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil? [19] [Micaiah] said, Therefore hear you the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. [20] Yahweh said, Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? One said on this manner; and another said on that manner. [21] There came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said, I will entice him. [22] Yahweh said to him, 'How?' He said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' He said, 'You shall entice him, and shall prevail also: go forth, and do so.' [23] Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you. [24] Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Yahweh from me to speak to you? [25] Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself. [26] The king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; [27] and say, Thus says 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. [28] Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me. He said, Hear, you peoples, all of you.
