New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
13
Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, 'Behold now, the words of the prophets are unanimously favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.'
14
But Micaiah said, 'As the
Lord
lives, whatever the
Lord
says to me, I shall speak it.'
15
When he came to the king, the king said to him, 'Micaiah, should we go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?' And he said, 'Go up and succeed, for the
Lord
will hand
it
over to the king!'
16
Then the king said to him, 'How many times must I make you swear that you will tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the
Lord
?'
17
So he said,
'I saw all Israel
Scattered on the mountains,
Like sheep that have no shepherd.
And the
Lord
said,
‘These
people
have no master.
Each of them is to return to his house in peace.’?'
18
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy
anything
good regarding me, but
only
bad?'
19
And
Micaiah
said, 'Therefore, hear the word of the
Lord
. I saw the
Lord
sitting on His throne, and all the angels of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
20
And the
Lord
said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one
spirit
said this, while another said that.
King James Version
Chapter 22
13
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
14
And Micaiah said, As the
Lord
liveth, what the
Lord
saith unto me, that will I speak.
15
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the
Lord
shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
16
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the
Lord
?
17
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the
Lord
said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
18
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
19
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the
Lord
: I saw the
Lord
sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20
And the
Lord
said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

Chapter 22
13
The messenger who went to call Micaiah instructed him, "Look, the words of the prophets are unanimously favorable for the king. So let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably."
14
But Micaiah said, "As the
Lord
lives, I will say whatever the
Lord
says to me."
15
So he went to the king, and the king asked him, "Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth-gilead for war, or should we refrain?" Micaiah told him, "March up and succeed. The
Lord
will hand it over to the king."
16
But the king said to him, "How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the
Lord
?"
17
So Micaiah said:
I saw all Israel scattered on the hills
like sheep without a shepherd.
And the
Lord
said,
"They have no master;
let everyone return home in peace."
18
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Didn’t I tell you he never prophesies good about me, but only disaster?"
19
Then Micaiah said, "Therefore, hear the word of the
Lord
: I saw the
Lord
sitting on his throne, and the whole heavenly army was standing by him at his right hand and at his left hand.
20
And the
Lord
said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ So one was saying this and another was saying that.

13
Meanwhile, the messenger who went to get Micaiah said to him, 'Look, all the prophets are promising victory for the king. Be sure that you agree with them and promise success.'
14
But Micaiah replied, 'As surely as the
Lord
lives, I will say only what the
Lord
tells me to say.'
15
When Micaiah arrived before the king, Ahab asked him, 'Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we hold back?' Micaiah replied sarcastically, 'Yes, go up and be victorious, for the
Lord
will give the king victory!'
16
But the king replied sharply, 'How many times must I demand that you speak only the truth to me when you speak for the
Lord
?'
17
Then Micaiah told him, 'In a vision I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the
Lord
said, ‘Their master has been killed. Send them home in peace.’'
18
Didn’t I tell you?' the king of Israel exclaimed to Jehoshaphat. 'He never prophesies anything but trouble for me.'
19
Then Micaiah continued, 'Listen to what the
Lord
says! I saw the
Lord
sitting on his throne with all the armies of heaven around him, on his right and on his left.
20
And the
Lord
said, ‘Who can entice Ahab to go into battle against Ramoth-gilead so he can be killed?’ 'There were many suggestions,

But Micaiah said, "As the
Lord
lives, what the
Lord
says to me, that I will speak."
15
And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain?" And he answered him, "Go up and triumph; the
Lord
will give it into the hand of the king."
16
But the king said to him, "How many times shall I make you swear that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the
Lord
?"

lives, I can tell him only what the
Lord
tells me."
