2 Chronicles 18:1 Now Jehoshaphat3092 had riches6239 and honor3519 in abundance;7230 and he joined affinity2859 with Ahab.2562 And after7093 certain years8141 he went down3381 to Ahab256 to Samaria.8111 And Ahab256 killed2076 sheep6629 and oxen1241 for him in abundance,7230 and for the people5971 that were with him, and moved5496 him to go up5927withhim to Ramoth-gilead.74333 And Ahab256 king4428 of Israel3478 said559 unto Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah,3063 Wilt thou go3212 with me to Ramoth-gilead?7433 And he answered559 him, I am as thou art, and my people5971 as thy people;5971 and wewillbe with thee in the war.4421
2 Chronicles 18:4 And Jehoshaphat3092 said559 unto the king4428 of Israel,3478 Inquire1875 first,3117{Hebrew to-day.} I pray thee, for the word1697 of Jehovah.30685 Then the king4428 of Israel3478 gathered the prophets5030 together,6908 four702 hundred3967 men,376 and said559 unto them, Shall we go3212 to Ramoth-gilead7433 to battle,4421 or shall I forbear?2308 And they said,559 Go up;5927 for God430 will deliver5414 it into the hand3027 of the king.44286 But Jehoshaphat3092 said,559 Is there not here a prophet5030 of Jehovah3068 besides, that we may inquire of him?18757 And the king4428 of Israel3478 said559 unto Jehoshaphat,3092 There is yet one259 man376 by whom we may inquire1875 of Jehovah:3068 but I hate8130 him; for he never prophesieth5012 good2896 concerning me, but always3117 evil:7451 the same is Micaiah4321 the son1121 of Imla.3229 And Jehoshaphat3092 said,559 Let not the king4428 say so.5598 Then the king4428 of Israel3478 called7121 an259 officer,5631{Or, eunuch} and said,559 Fetch quickly4116 Micaiah4319 the son1121 of Imla.32299 Now the king4428 of Israel3478 and Jehoshaphat3092 the king4428 of Judah3063 sat3427 each376 on his throne,3678 arrayed3847 in their robes,899 and they were sitting3427 in an{Hebrew a threshing-floor.} open place1637 at the entrance8179 of the gate8179 of Samaria;8111 and all the prophets5030 were prophesying5012 before them.644010 And Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Chenaanah3668 made6213 him horns7161 of iron1270 and said,559 Thus saith559 Jehovah,3068 With these shalt thou push5055 the Syrians,758 until they be consumed.361511 And all the prophets5030 prophesied5012 so, saying,559 Go up5927 to Ramoth-gilead,7433 and prosper;6743 for Jehovah3068 will deliver5414 it into the hand3027 of the king.4428
2 Chronicles 18:12 And the messenger4397 that went1980 to call7121 Micaiah4321 spake1696 to him, saying,559 Behold, the words1697 of the prophets5030declare good2896 to the king4428 with one259 mouth:6310 let thy word1697 therefore, I pray thee, be like one259 of theirs, and speak1696 thou good.289613 And Micaiah4321 said,559 As Jehovah3068 liveth,2416 what my God430 saith,559 that will I speak.169614 And when he was come935 to the king,4428 the king4428 said559 unto him, Micaiah,4318{Hebrew Micah.} shall we go3212 to Ramoth-gilead7433 to battle,4421 or shall I forbear?2308 And he said,559 Go ye up,5927 and prosper;6743 and they shall be delivered5414 into your hand.302715 And the king4428 said559 to him, How many times6471 shall I adjure7650 thee that thou speak1696 unto me nothing but the truth571 in the name8034 of Jehovah?306816 And he said,559 I saw7200 all Israel3478 scattered6327 upon the mountains,2022 as sheep6629 that have no shepherd:7462 and Jehovah3068 said,559 These have no master;113 let them return7725 every man376 to his house1004 in peace.796517 And the king4428 of Israel3478 said559 to Jehoshaphat,3092 Did I not tell559 thee that he would not prophesy5012 good2896 concerning me, but evil?745118 And Micaiah said,559 Therefore hear8085 ye the word1697 of Jehovah:3068 I saw7200 Jehovah3068 sitting3427 upon his throne,3678 and all the host6635 of heaven8064 standing5975 on his right hand3225 and on his left.804019 And Jehovah3068 said,559 Who shall entice6601{Or, deceive} Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 that he may go up5927 and fall5307 at Ramoth-gilead?7433 And one spake559 saying559 after this manner,3602 and another saying559 after that manner.360220 And there came forth3318 a{Hebrew the spirit.} spirit,7307 and stood5975 before6440 Jehovah,3068 and said,559 I will entice6601 him. And Jehovah3068 said unto him, Wherewith?55921 And he said,559 I will go forth,3318 and will be a lying8267 spirit7307 in the mouth6310 of all his prophets.5030 And he said,559 Thou shalt entice6601 him, and shalt prevail3201 also: go forth,3318 and do so.621322 Now therefore, behold, Jehovah3068 hath put5414 a lying8267 spirit7307 in the mouth6310 of these thy prophets;5030 and Jehovah3068 hath spoken1696 evil concerning thee.7451
2 Chronicles 18:23 Then Zedekiah6667 the son1121 of Chenaanah3668 came near,5066 and smote5221 Micaiah4321 upon the cheek,3895 and said,559 Which335 way1870 went5674 the Spirit7307 of Jehovah3068 from me to speak unto thee?169624 And Micaiah4321 said,559 Behold, thou shalt see7200 on that day,3117 when thou shalt go935 into{Or, from chamber to chamber} an inner2315 chamber2315 to hide thyself.224425 And the king4428 of Israel3478 said,559 Take3947 ye Micaiah,4321 and carry him back7725 unto Amon526 the governor8269 of the city,5892 and to Joash3101 the king's4428 son;112126 and say,559 Thus saith559 the king,4428 Put7760 this fellow in the prison,1004 and feed398 him with bread3899 of affliction3906 and with water4325 of affliction,3906 until I return7725 in peace.796527 And Micaiah4321 said,559 If thou return7725 at7725 all in peace,7965 Jehovah3068 hath not spoken1696 by me. And he said,559 Hear,8085 ye peoples, all of you.5971
2 Chronicles 18:28 So the king4428 of Israel3478 and Jehoshaphat3092 the king4428 of Judah3063 went up5927 to Ramoth-gilead.743329 And the king4428 of Israel3478 said559 unto Jehoshaphat,3092 I will disguise2664 myself, and go935 into the battle;4421 but put3847 thou on thy robes.899 So the king4428 of Israel3478 disguised2664 himself; and they went935 into the battle.442130 Now the king4428 of Syria758 had commanded6680 the captains8269 of his chariots,7393 saying,559 Fight3898 neither with small6996 nor great,1419 save only with the king4428 of Israel.347831 And it came to pass, when the captains8269 of the chariots7393 saw7200 Jehoshaphat,3092 that they said,559 It is the king4428 of Israel.3478 Therefore they turned about5437 to fight3898 against him: but Jehoshaphat3092 cried out,2199 and Jehovah3068 helped5826 him; and God430 moved them todepart from him.549632 And it came to pass, when the captains8269 of the chariots7393 saw7200 that it was not the king4428 of Israel,3478 that they turned back7725 from pursuing him.31033 And a certain man drew4900 his bow7198 at{Hebrew in his simplicity.} a venture,8537 and smote5221 the king4428 of Israel3478 between the{Or, the lower armor and the breastplate} joints1694 of the armor:8302 wherefore he said559 to the driver376 of the chariot,7395 Turn2015 thy hand,3027 and carry me out3318 of the host;4264 for I am sore wounded.247034 And the battle4421 increased5927 that day:3117 howbeit the king4428 of Israel3478 stayed himself up5975 in his chariot4818 against5227 the Syrians758 until the even;6153 and about the time6256 of the going down935 of the sun8121 he died.4191
