דברי הימים ב, פרק י״ח, פסוק י״ג

Faced with immense royal pressure, a true prophet must decide whether to please human leaders or remain loyal to his divine mission. Micaiah takes a firm, uncompromising stand against the heavy expectations placed upon him by the king. Opening with an oath, he declares that, unlike the other prophets, he will not allow the king's desires to shape his message. Instead, he commits to acting as a faithful messenger, delivering only the exact words spoken by God [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
