2 Chronicles 18:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² The messenger who had gone to ·get [summon] Micaiah said to him, “All the other prophets are ·saying King Ahab will win [speaking favorably with one voice for the king]. ·You should agree with them and give the king a good answer [^LLet your word be like theirs and speak favorably].”

¹³ But Micaiah answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, I ·can tell him [will speak] only what my God says.”

¹⁴ When Micaiah came to Ahab, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we attack Ramoth in Gilead or ·not [hold back]?”

Micaiah answered, “Attack and win! They will be handed over to you [^CHe was keeping his vow to speak what God said because this lie was what God wanted him to say to Ahab].”
