2 Chronicles 10:16

10:16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king, “We have no portion in David – no share in the son of Jesse! 1  Return to your homes, O Israel! 2  Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” 3  So all Israel returned to their homes. 4 

2 Chronicles 18:7

18:7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man through whom we can seek the Lord’s will. 5  But I despise 6  him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but always 7  disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. 8  Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say such things!”
