H3092
Now Jehoshaphat
H6239
had riches
H3519
and glory
H7230
in abundance,
H2859 0
and allied himself
H256
with Ahab
H2859 [H8691]
by marriage.
2
H7093
And after
H8141
certain years
H3381 [H8799]
he went down
H256
to Ahab
H8111
to Samaria.
H256
And Ahab
H2076 [H8799]
killed
H6629
sheep
H1241
and oxen
H7230
for him in abundance,
H5971
and for the people
H5496 [H8686]
that he had with him, and persuaded
H5927 [H8800]
him to go up
H7433 H1568
with him to Ramothgilead.
3
H256
And Ahab
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H559 [H8799]
said
H3092
to Jehoshaphat
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah,
H3212 [H8799]
Wilt thou go
H7433 H1568
with me to Ramothgilead?
H559 [H8799]
And he answered
H5971
him, I am as thou art, and my people
H5971
as thy people;
H4421
and we will be with thee in the war.
4
H3092
And Jehoshaphat
H559 [H8799]
said
H4428
to the king
H3478
of Israel,
H1875 [H8798]
Enquire,
H1697
I pray thee, at the word
H3068
of the LORD
H3117
to day.
5
H4428
Therefore the king
H3478
of Israel
H6908 [H8799]
gathered together
H5030
of prophets
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H376
men,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H3212 [H8799]
to them, Shall we go
H7433 H1568
to Ramothgilead
H4421
to battle,
H2308 [H8799]
or shall I forbear?
H559 [H8799]
And they said,
H5927 [H8798]
Go up;
H430
for God
H5414 [H8799]
will give
H4428
it into the king's
H3027
hand.
6
H3092
But Jehoshaphat
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5030
Is there not here a prophet
H3068
of the LORD
H1875 [H8799]
besides, that we may enquire of him?
7
H4428
And the king
H3478
of Israel
H559 [H8799]
said
H3092
to Jehoshaphat,
H259
There is yet one
H376
man,
H1875 [H8800]
by whom we may enquire
H3068
of the LORD:
H8130 [H8804]
but I hate
H5012 [H8693]
him; for he never prophesieth
H2896
good
H3117
to me, but always
H7451
evil:
H4321
the same is Micaiah
H1121
the son
H3229
of Imla.
H3092
And Jehoshaphat
H559 [H8799]
said,
H4428
Let not the king
H559 [H8799]
say so.
8
H4428
And the king
H3478
of Israel
H7121 [H8799]
called
H259
for one
H5631
of his officers,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H4116 [H8761]
Bring quickly
H4319
Micaiah
H1121
the son
H3229
of Imla.
9
H4428
And the king
H3478
of Israel
H3092
and Jehoshaphat
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H3427 [H8802]
sat
H376
each
H3678
of them on his throne,
H3847 [H8794]
clothed
H899
in their robes,
H3427 [H8802]
and they sat
H1637
in an open place
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.
10
H6667
And Zedekiah
H1121
the son
H3668
of Chenaanah
H6213 [H8799]
had made
H7161
him horns
H1270
of iron,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H3068
the LORD,
H5055 [H8762]
With these thou shalt push
H758
Syria
H3615 [H8763]
until they shall be consumed.
11
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
H3027
it into the hand
H4428
of the king.
12
H4397
And the messenger
H1980 [H8804]
that went
H7121 [H8800]
to call
H4321
Micaiah
H1696 [H8765]
spoke
H559 [H8800]
to him, saying,
H1697
Behold, the words
H5030
of the prophets
H2896
declare good
H4428
to the king
H259
with one
H6310
mouth;
H1697
let thy word
H259
therefore, I pray thee, be like one
H1696 [H8765]
of theirs, and speak
H2896
thou good.
13
H4321
And Micaiah
H559 [H8799]
said,
H3068
As the LORD
H2416
liveth,
H430
even what my God
H559 [H8799]
saith,
H1696 [H8762]
that will I speak.
14
H935 [H8799]
And when he had come
H4428
to the king,
H4428
the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H4318
to him, Micaiah,
H3212 [H8799]
shall we go
H7433 H1568
to Ramothgilead
H4421
to battle,
H2308 [H8799]
or shall I forbear?
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H5927 [H8798]
Go ye up,
H6743 [H8685]
and prosper,
H5414 [H8735]
and they shall be given
H3027
into your hand.
15
H4428
And the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H6471
to him, How many times
H7650 [H8688]
shall I adjure
H1696 [H8762]
thee that thou say
H571
nothing but the truth
H8034
to me in the name
H3068
of the LORD?
16
H559 [H8799]
Then he said,
H7200 [H8804]
I saw
H3478
all Israel
H6327 [H8737]
scattered
H2022
upon the mountains,
H6629
as sheep
H7462 [H8802]
that have no shepherd:
H3068
and the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said,
H113
These have no master;
H7725 [H8799]
let them return
H376
therefore every man
H1004
to his house
H7965
in peace.
17
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 not prophesy
H2896
good
H7451
to me, but evil?
18
H559 [H8799]
Again he said,
H8085 [H8798]
Therefore hear
H1697
the word
H3068
of the LORD;
H7200 [H8804]
I saw
H3068
the LORD
H3427 [H8802]
sitting
H3678
upon his throne,
H6635
and all the host
H8064
of heaven
H5975 [H8802]
standing
H3225
on his right hand
H8040
and on his left.
19
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said,
H6601 [H8762]
Who shall entice
H256
Ahab
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel,
H5927 [H8799]
that he may go up
H5307 [H8799]
and fall
H7433 H1568
at Ramothgilead?
H559 [H8799]
And one spoke
H559 [H8802]
saying
H3602
after this manner,
H559 [H8802]
and another saying
H3602
after that manner.
20
H3318 [H8799]
Then there came out
H7307
a spirit,
H5975 [H8799]
and stood
H6440
at the face of
H3068
the LORD,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H6601 [H8762]
I will entice
H3068
him. And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said to him, How?
21
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H3318 [H8799]
I will go out,
H8267
and be a lying
H7307
spirit
H6310
in the mouth
H5030
of all his prophets.
H559 [H8799]
And the LORD said,
H6601 [H8762]
Thou shalt entice
H3201 [H8799]
him, and thou shalt also prevail:
H3318 [H8798]
go out,
H6213 [H8798]
and do even so.
22
H3068
Now therefore, behold, the LORD
H5414 [H8804]
hath put
H8267
a lying
H7307
spirit
H6310
in the mouth
H5030
of these thy prophets,
H3068
and the LORD
H1696 [H8765]
hath spoken
H7451
evil against thee.
23
H6667
Then Zedekiah
H1121
the son
H3668
of Chenaanah
H5066 [H8799]
came near,
H5221 [H8686]
and smote
H4321
Micaiah
H3895
upon the cheek,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H335
Which
H1870
way
H5674 [H8804]
went
H7307
the Spirit
H3068
of the LORD
H1696 [H8763]
from me to speak to thee?
24
H4321
And Micaiah
H559 [H8799]
said,
H7200 [H8802]
Behold, thou shalt see
H3117
on that day
H935 [H8799]
when thou shalt go
H2315
into an inner
H2315
chamber
H2244 [H8736]
to hide thyself.
25
H4428
Then the king
H3478
of Israel
H559 [H8799]
said,
H3947 [H8798]
Take
H4321
ye 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;
26
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,
H7725 [H8800]
until I return
H7965
in peace.
27
H4321
And Micaiah
H559 [H8799]
said,
H7725 [H8800]
If thou shalt certainly
H7725 [H8799]
return
H7965
in peace,
H3068
then hath not the LORD
H1696 [H8765]
spoken
H559 [H8799]
by me. And he said,
H8085 [H8798]
Hearken,
H5971
all ye people.
28
H4428
So the king
H3478
of Israel
H3092
and Jehoshaphat
H4428
the king
H3063
of Judah
H5927 [H8799]
went up
H7433 H1568
to Ramothgilead.
29
H4428
And the king
H3478
of Israel
H559 [H8799]
said
H3092
to Jehoshaphat,
H2664 [H8692]
I will disguise
H935 [H8800]
myself, and will go
H4421
to the battle;
H3847 [H8798]
but put
H899
thou on thy robes.
H4428
So the king
H3478
of Israel
H2664 [H8691]
disguised
H935 [H8799]
himself; and they went
H4421
to the battle.
30
H4428
Now the king
H758
of Syria
H6680 [H8765]
had commanded
H8269
the captains
H7393
of the chariots
H559 [H8800]
that were with him, saying,
H3898 [H8735]
Fight
H6996
ye not with small
H1419
or great,
H4428
except only with the king
H3478
of Israel.
31
H8269
And it came to pass, when the captains
H7393
of the chariots
H7200 [H8800]
saw
H3092
Jehoshaphat,
H559 [H8804]
that they said,
H4428
It is the king
H3478
of Israel.
H5437 [H8799]
Therefore they surrounded
H3898 [H8736]
him to fight:
H3092
but Jehoshaphat
H2199 [H8799]
cried out,
H3068
and the LORD
H5826 [H8804]
helped
H430
him; and God
H5496 [H8686]
moved them to depart from him.
32
H8269
For it came to pass, that, when the captains
H7393
of the chariots
H7200 [H8800]
perceived
H4428
that it was not the king
H3478
of Israel,
H7725 [H8799]
they turned back again
H310
from pursuing him.
33
H4900 [H8804]
And a certain man drew
H7198
a bow
H8537
at a venture,
H5221 [H8686]
and smote
H4428
the king
H3478
of Israel
H1694
between the joints
H8302
of the armour:
H559 [H8799]
therefore he said
H7395
to his chariot
H376
man,
H2015 [H8798]
Turn
H3027
thine hand,
H3318 [H8689]
that thou mayest carry me out
H4264
of the host;
H2470 [H8717]
for I am wounded.
