1599 Geneva Bible
17 Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that had no shepherd. And the Lord said, [a]These have no master, let every man return unto his house in peace.
18 (And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good unto me, but evil?)
19 Again he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sit on his throne, and all the [b]host of heaven stood about him on his right hand and on his left hand.
