This is part of the confrontation between the prophet Micaiah and Zedekiah (a false prophet) before King Ahab's final battle. Zedekiah had just struck Micaiah and mocked him, so Micaiah prophesied that Zedekiah would be hiding in fear when Ahab was defeated and killed in battle, proving who the true prophet was.
