2 Chronicles 18:13 In-Context

11 All the prophets prophesied the same thing: "Go up and attack Ramot-Gil'ad. You will succeed, because ADONAI will hand it over to the king."

12 The messenger who had gone to call Mikhay'hu said to him, "Here, now, the prophets are unanimously predicting success for the king. Please let your word be like one of theirs - say something good."

13 But Mikhay'hu answered, "As ADONAI lives, whatever my God says is what I will say."

14 When he reached the king, the king asked him, "Mikhay'hu, should we go up and attack Ramot-Gil'ad, or should we hold off?" He answered, "Go up, you will succeed, they will be handed over to you."

15 The king said to him, "How many times do I have to warn you to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of ADONAI?"
