2 Chronicles 18
Now JehoshaphatH3092 had richesH6239 and honorH3519 in abundanceH7230; and he joined affinityH2859 with AhabH256.
And afterH7093 certain yearsH8141 he went downH3381 to AhabH256 to SamariaH8111. And AhabH256 killedH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 for him in abundanceH7230, and for the peopleH5971 that were with him, and movedH5496 him to go upH5927 with him to Ramoth-gileadH7433.
And AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, Wilt thou goH3212 with me to Ramoth-gileadH7433? And he answeredH559 him, I am as thou art, and my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971; and we will be with thee in the warH4421.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, InquireH1875 firstH3117, I pray thee, for the wordH1697 of JehovahH3068.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gathered the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall we goH3212 to Ramoth-gileadH7433 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for GodH430 will deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of JehovahH3068 besides, that we may inquireH1875 of him?
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376 by whom we may inquireH1875 of JehovahH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he never prophesiethH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but alwaysH3117 evilH7451: the same is MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlaH3229. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 anH259 officerH5631, and saidH559, Fetch quicklyH4116 MicaiahH4319 the sonH1121 of ImlaH3229.
Now the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH376 on his throneH3678, arrayedH3847 in their robesH899, and they were sittingH3427 in an open placeH1637 at the entranceH8179 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 were prophesyingH5012 beforeH6440 them.
And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 JehovahH3068, With these shalt thou pushH5055 the SyriansH758, until they be consumedH3615.
And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to Ramoth-gileadH7433, and prosperH6743; for JehovahH3068 will deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 to him, sayingH559, Behold, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697 therefore, I pray thee, be like oneH259 of theirs, and speakH1696 thou goodH2896.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As JehovahH3068 livethH2416, what my GodH430 saithH559, that will I speakH1696.
And when he was comeH935 to the kingH4428, the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4318, shall we goH3212 to Ramoth-gileadH7433 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And he saidH559, Go ye upH5927, and prosperH6743; and they shall be deliveredH5414 into your handH3027.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou speakH1696 unto me nothing but the truthH571 in the nameH8034 of JehovahH3068?
And he saidH559, I sawH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the mountainsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have no shepherdH7462: and JehovahH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113; let them returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451?
And Micaiah saidH559, Therefore hearH8085 ye the wordH1697 of JehovahH3068: I sawH7200 JehovahH3068 sittingH3427 upon his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And JehovahH3068 saidH559, Who shall enticeH6601 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at Ramoth-gileadH7433? And one spakeH559 sayingH559 after this mannerH3602, and another sayingH559 after that mannerH3602.
And there came forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068, and saidH559, I will enticeH6601 him. And JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith?
And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt enticeH6601 him, and shalt prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so.
Now therefore, behold, JehovahH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of these thy prophetsH5030; and JehovahH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.
Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 came nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 upon the cheekH3895, and saidH559, WhichH335 wayH1870 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of JehovahH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 on that dayH3117, when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2244 thyself.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 ye MicaiahH4321, and carry him backH7725 unto AmonH526 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3101 the king'sH4428 sonH1121;
and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, PutH7760 this fellow in the prisonH1004, and feedH398 him with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and with waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, until I returnH7725 in peaceH7965.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou returnH7725 atH7725 all in peaceH7965, JehovahH3068 hath not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearH8085, ye peoplesH5971, all of you.
So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went upH5927 to Ramoth-gileadH7433.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, I will disguiseH2664 myself, and goH935 into the battleH4421; but putH3847 thou on thy robesH899. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguisedH2664 himself; and they wentH935 into the battleH4421.
Now the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 had commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of his chariotsH7393, sayingH559, FightH3898 neither with smallH6996 nor greatH1419, save only with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, that they saidH559, It is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. Therefore they turned aboutH5437 to fightH3898 against him: but JehoshaphatH3092 cried outH2199, and JehovahH3068 helpedH5826 him; and GodH430 movedH5496 them to depart from him.
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 that it was not the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that they turned backH7725 from pursuingH310 him.
And a certain man drewH4900 his bowH7198 at a ventureH8537, and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 between the jointsH1694 of the armorH8302: wherefore he saidH559 to the driverH376 of the chariotH7395, TurnH2015 thy handH3027, and carry me outH3318 of the hostH4264; for I am sore woundedH2470.
And the battleH4421 increasedH5927 that dayH3117: howbeit the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 stayed himself upH5975 in his chariotH4818 againstH5227 the SyriansH758 until the evenH6153; and about the timeH6256 of the going downH935 of the sunH8121 he diedH4191.
