📚 Historical Context

In the biblical narrative of 2 Chronicles 18, King Ahab of Israel was preparing for battle against Ramoth-gilead and consulted prophets, most of whom falsely predicted success to please him. Micaiah, a true prophet sent by God, delivered a contrary message of defeat, which angered Ahab and led to Micaiah being mocked and imprisoned by false prophets like Zedekiah. This verse records Micaiah's prophetic response to Zedekiah, warning that he would witness the judgment firsthand when he tried to hide in fear.
