25And Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide.”

26Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son.”

27and say, ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I come in peace.’

28And Micaiah said, “If you indeed return in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Hear, all you peoples!”
