1 Kings 22:11-20

Leeser(i) 11 And Zedekiah the son of Kena’anah had made himself horns of iron; and he said, Thus hath said the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have made an end of them. 12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gil’ad, and prosper; and the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hand. 13 And the messenger that went to call Michayhu spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: do let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of any one of them, and speak something good. 14 And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly, what the Lord may say unto me, that will I speak. 15 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michayhu, shall we go against Ramoth-gil’ad to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up, and prosper; and may the Lord deliver it into the hand of the king. 16 And the king said unto him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord? 17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace. 18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but only evil? 19 And he said, Therefore hear thou 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 and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, Who will persuade Achab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gil’ad! And one said, In this manner, and another said, In that manner.
