Question: When an example of sheep scattered on hills without a shepherd was used in the Bible, what would that look like? 2 Chronicles 18:16a Then Micaiah answered, "I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd... Answer: To anyone who had seen the dry hills southwest of Jerusalem (headed towards the dead sea), the huge hills are easy to imagine. To see the sheep a person has to look a lot closer. The shot below show the hills, then the subsequent two closer views show the scattered sheep... sheep that are being allowed to wander without a shepherd.
