2 Chronicles 18:23-32 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

23. Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the Lord pass from me to speak to you?"

24. Micaiah said, "Behold, you will see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself."

25. Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

26. and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely."'"

27. Micaiah said, "If you indeed return safely, the Lord has not spoken by me." And he said, "Listen, all you people."

28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.

29. The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.

30. Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Do not fight with small or great, but with the king of Israel alone."

31. So when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel," and they turned aside to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him, and God diverted them from him.

32. When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
