2 Chronicles 18:12 meaning and explanation

Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”

2 Chronicles 18:12, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview
