2 Chronicles 18:13 In-Context

11 The other prophets agreed: "Attack Ramoth-gilead and win! The LORD will hand it over to the king!"
12 Meanwhile, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, "Listen, the prophets all agree that the king will succeed. You should say the same thing they say and prophesy success."
13 But Micaiah answered, "As surely as the LORD lives, I will say only what God tells me to say."
14 When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, "Micaiah, should we go to war with Ramoth-gilead or not?" "Attack and win!" Micaiah answered. "The LORD will hand it over to the king."
15 But the king said, "How many times must I demand that you tell me the truth when you speak in the LORD's name?"
