11. Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until finishing them.’ ”
12. All of the prophets were likewise prophesying, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and triumph, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
13. Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Please now, the words of the prophet are unanimously favorable to the king. Please let your words be as one word with them, and speak favorably.”
14. Then Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, surely only as Yahweh speaks to me, that will I speak.”
15. When he came to the king, the king asked him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to the battle, or shall we refrain?” He said to him, “Go up and triumph, and Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
16. Then the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear that you shall not tell me anything but truth in the name of Yahweh?”
17. So he said, “I saw all of Israel scattering to the mountains, like the sheep without a shepherd. Yahweh also said, ‘There are no masters for these, let them return in peace, each to his house.’ ”
18. Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but disaster?”
