The king of Israel then ordered, “Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
and say: Thus says the king: Put this fellow in prison, and feed him on reduced rations of bread and water until I come in peace.”
Micaiah replied, “You will find out on that day when you go in to hide in an inner chamber.”
Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, “Bring quickly Micaiah son of Imlah.”
In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land and the house, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
