← 2 Chronicles 18:14	2 Chronicles 18:15 (KJV)	2 Chronicles 18:16 →
And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.	And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?	Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return [therefore] every man to his house in peace.
