1 Kings 22:6-28 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Sovereign shall give it into the hand of the king.

6 H4428 Then the king H3478 of Israel H6908 0 gathered H5030 the prophets H6908 [H8799] together, H702 about four H3967 hundred H376 men, H559 [H8799] and said H3212 [H8799] to them, Shall I go H7433 H1568 against Ramothgilead H4421 to battle, H2308 [H8799] or shall I forbear? H559 [H8799] And they said, H5927 [H8798] Go up; H136 for the Sovereign H5414 [H8799] shall give H3027 it into the hand H4428 of the king.

7 H3092 And Jehoshaphat H559 [H8799] said, H5030 Is there not here a prophet H3068 of the LORD H5750 besides, H1875 [H8799] that we may enquire of him?

8 H4428 And the king H3478 of Israel H559 [H8799] said H3092 to Jehoshaphat, H259 There is yet one H376 man, H4321 Micaiah H1121 the son H3229 of Imlah, H1875 [H8800] by whom we may enquire H3068 of the LORD: H8130 [H8804] but I hate H5012 [H8691] him; for he doth not prophesy H2896 good H7451 concerning me, but evil. H3092 And Jehoshaphat H559 [H8799] said, H4428 Let not the king H559 [H8799] say so.

9 H4428 Then the king H3478 of Israel H7121 [H8799] called H259 an H5631 officer, H559 [H8799] and said, H4116 [H8761] Hasten H4321 here Micaiah H1121 the son H3229 of Imlah.

10 H4428 And the king H3478 of Israel H3092 and Jehoshaphat H4428 the king H3063 of Judah H3427 [H8802] sat H376 each H3678 on his throne, H3847 [H8794] having put on H899 their robes, H1637 in a threshingfloor H6607 at the entrance H8179 of the gate H8111 of Samaria; H5030 and all the prophets H5012 [H8693] prophesied H6440 at the face of them.

11 H6667 And Zedekiah H1121 the son H3668 of Chenaanah H6213 [H8799] made H7161 him horns H1270 of iron: H559 [H8799] and he said, H559 [H8804] Thus saith H3068 the LORD, H5055 [H8762] With these shalt thou push H758 the Syrians, H3615 [H8763] until thou hast consumed them.

12 H5030 And all the prophets H5012 [H8737] prophesied H559 [H8800] so, saying, H5927 [H8798] Go up H7433 H1568 to Ramothgilead, H6743 [H8685] and prosper: H3068 for the LORD H5414 [H8804] shall give H4428 it into the king's H3027 hand.

13 H4397 And the messenger H1980 [H8804] that went H7121 [H8800] to call H4321 Micaiah H1696 [H8765] spoke H559 [H8800] to him, saying, H1697 Behold now, the words H5030 of the prophets H2896 declare good H4428 to the king H259 with one H6310 mouth: H1697 let thy word, H1697 I pray thee, be like the word H259 of one H1696 [H8765] of them, and speak H2896 that which is good.

14 H4321 And Micaiah H559 [H8799] said, H3068 As the LORD H2416 liveth, H3068 what the LORD H559 [H8799] saith H1696 [H8762] to me, that will I speak.

15 H935 [H8799] So he came H4428 to the king. H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] said H4321 to him, Micaiah, H3212 [H8799] shall we go H7433 H1568 against Ramothgilead H4421 to battle, H2308 [H8799] or shall we forbear? H559 [H8799] And he answered H5927 [H8798] him, Go, H6743 [H8685] and prosper: H3068 for the LORD H5414 [H8804] shall give H3027 it into the hand H4428 of the king.

16 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] said H6471 to him, How many times H7650 [H8688] shall I adjure H1696 [H8762] thee that thou tell H571 me nothing but that which is true H8034 in the name H3068 of the LORD?

17 H559 [H8799] And he said, H7200 [H8804] I saw H3478 all Israel H6327 [H8737] scattered H2022 upon the mountains, H6629 as sheep H7462 [H8802] that have not a shepherd: H3068 and the LORD H559 [H8799] said, H113 These have no master: H7725 [H8799] let them return H376 every man H1004 to his house H7965 in peace.

18 H4428 And the king H3478 of Israel H559 [H8799] said H3092 to Jehoshaphat, H559 [H8804] Did I not tell H5012 [H8691] thee that he would prophesy H2896 no good H7451 concerning me, but evil?

19 H559 [H8799] And he said, H8085 [H8798] Hear H1697 thou therefore the word H3068 of the LORD: H7200 [H8804] I saw H3068 the LORD H3427 [H8802] sitting H3678 on his throne, H6635 and all the host H8064 of heaven H5975 [H8802] standing H3225 by him on his right hand H8040 and on his left.

20 H3068 And the LORD H559 [H8799] said, H6601 [H8762] Who shall persuade H256 Ahab, H5927 [H8799] that he may go up H5307 [H8799] and fall H7433 H1568 at Ramothgilead? H559 [H8799] And one said H3541 in this manner, H559 [H8802] and another said H3541 in that manner.

21 H3318 [H8799] And there came forth H7307 a spirit, H5975 [H8799] and stood H6440 at the face of H3068 the LORD, H559 [H8799] and said, H6601 [H8762] I will persuade him.

22 H3068 And the LORD H559 [H8799] said H559 [H8799] to him, How? And he said, H3318 [H8799] I will go forth, H8267 and I will be a lying H7307 spirit H6310 in the mouth H5030 of all his prophets. H559 [H8799] And he said, H6601 [H8762] Thou shalt persuade H3201 [H8799] him, and prevail H3318 [H8798] also: go forth, H6213 [H8798] and do so.

23 H3068 Now therefore, behold, the LORD H5414 [H8804] hath put H8267 a lying H7307 spirit H6310 in the mouth H5030 of all these thy prophets, H3068 and the LORD H1696 [H8765] hath spoken H7451 evil concerning thee.

24 H6667 But Zedekiah H1121 the son H3668 of Chenaanah H5066 [H8799] went near, H5221 [H8686] and smote H4321 Micaiah H3895 on the cheek, H559 [H8799] and said, H335 Which way H5674 [H8804] went H7307 the Spirit H3068 of the LORD H1696 [H8763] from me to speak to thee?

25 H4321 And Micaiah H559 [H8799] said, H7200 [H8802] Behold, thou shalt see H3117 in that day, H935 [H8799] when thou shalt go H2315 into an inner H2315 chamber H2247 [H8736] to hide thyself.

26 H4428 And the king H3478 of Israel H559 [H8799] said, H3947 [H8798] Take H4321 Micaiah, H7725 [H8685] and carry him back H526 to Amon H8269 the governor H5892 of the city, H3101 and to Joash H4428 the king's H1121 son;

27 H559 [H8804] And say, H559 [H8804] Thus saith H4428 the king, H7760 [H8798] Put H1004 H3608 this man in the prison, H398 [H8685] and feed H3899 him with bread H3906 of affliction H4325 and with water H3906 of affliction, H935 [H8800] until I come H7965 in peace.

28 H4321 And Micaiah H559 [H8799] said, H7725 [H8799] If thou shalt return H7725 [H8800] at all H7965 in peace, H3068 the LORD H1696 [H8765] hath not spoken H559 [H8799] by me. And he said, H8085 [H8798] Hearken, H5971 O people, each one of you.
