2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 18:25–27

²⁵And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son, ²⁶and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”

²⁷But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
