1 Kings 22:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
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, [a]Go up, and prosper: and the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 And the king said unto him, How oft shall I charge thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the Name of the Lord?
17 Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that had no shepherd. And the Lord said, [b]These have no master, let every man return unto his house in peace.
