13The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the prophets are speaking with one voice and predicting success for the king. Please let your message agree with theirs and speak favorably.”

14Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, I will speak only what Yahweh says to me.”

15So Micaiah came to the king, who asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to battle at Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” He replied, “Go up and succeed, for Yahweh will give it into the king’s hands.”

16Then the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
