1 Kings 22:12-16

¹²All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”

¹³The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”

¹⁴But Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”

¹⁵When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should we not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for the Lord will give it into the king's hand.”

¹⁶But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth in the name of the Lord?”
