You will succeed; they will be handed over to you.” 15 The king said to him,“How many times must I make you solemnly promise in the name of the LORD to tell me only the truth?” 16 Micaiah replied,“I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep that have no shepherd.

Go out and do as you have proposed.’ 22 So now, look, the LORD has placed a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, but the LORD has decreed disaster for you.” 23 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah approached, hit Micaiah on the jaw, and said,“Which way did the LORD’s spirit go when he went from me to speak to you?” 24 Micaiah replied,“Look, you will see in the day when you go into an inner room to hide.” 25 Then the king of Israel said,“Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the city official and Joash the king’s son. 26 Say,‘This is what the king says:“Put this man in prison. Give him only a little bread and water until I return safely.”’” 27 Micaiah said,“If you really do return safely, then the LORD has not spoken through me!” Then he added,“Take note, all you people.”
