1 Kings 22:17

_ _ I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd — The purport of this was that the army of Israel would be defeated and dispersed; that Ahab would fall in the battle, and the people return without either being pursued or destroyed by the enemy.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(o) It is better for them to return home than to be punished and scattered because they go to war without God's counsel and approval.
