11 And all the prophets prophesied similarly, and they said: 'Ascend against Ramoth Gilead, and you shall prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the hand of the king.'
12 Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him: 'Lo, the words of all the prophets, with one mouth, announce good to the king. Therefore, I ask you that you not dissent from them in your word, and that you speak prosperity.'
13 And Micaiah responded to him, 'As the Lord lives, whatever my God will say to me, the same shall I speak.'
14 Therefore, he went to the king. And the king said to him, 'Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?' And he responded to him: 'Ascend. For everything will come to prosperity, and the enemies will be delivered into your hands.'
15 And the king said, 'Again and again, I bind you by an oath, so that you will not speak to me except what is true in the name of the Lord!'
