1 Kings 22:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a][b]one accord, let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak thou good.
14 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, whatsoever 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 Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we leave off? And he answered him, [c]Go up, and prosper: and the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
