GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ The king asked him, “How many times must I make you take an oath in the Lord’s name to tell me nothing but the truth?”

¹⁷ So Micaiah said, “I saw Israel’s troops scattered in the hills like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These ⌞sheep⌟ have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’ ”

¹⁸ The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you he wouldn’t prophesy anything good about me, only evil?”
