25
The king of Israel had heard enough: "Get Micaiah out of here! Turn him over to Amon the city magistrate and to Joash the king's son
26
with this message: 'King's orders! Lock him up in jail; keep him on bread and water until I'm back in one piece.'"
27
Micaiah said, If you ever get back in one piece, I'm no prophet of God. He added, When it happens, O people, remember where you heard it!
28
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went ahead and attacked Ramoth Gilead.
29
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Wear my kingly robe; I'm going into battle disguised." So the king of Israel entered the battle in disguise.
