Paraphrase

Then Micaiah said, “In a vision I saw the entire Israelite army scattered on the mountains and hills of Gilead near Ramoth; they were afraid and helpless because they had no leader. Then I heard THE ETERNAL AND PERSONAL GOD say, ‘These people have no one to lead them in battle. They should be released to go home whole, without further risk of injury or death.’ ”
