1 # And they continued <03427> (8799) three <07969> years <08141> without war <04421> between Syria <0758> and Israel <03478>.
2 And it came to pass in the third <07992> year <08141>, that Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> came down <03381> (8799) to the king <04428> of Israel <03478>.
3 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799) unto his servants <05650>, Know <03045> (8804) ye that Ramoth <07433> in Gilead <01568> is ours, and we be still <02814> (8688), and take <03947> (8800) it not out of the hand <03027> of the king <04428> of Syria <0758>?
4 And he said <0559> (8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, Wilt thou go <03212> (8799) with me to battle <04421> to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>? And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799) to the king <04428> of Israel <03478> , I am as thou <03644> art, my people <05971> as thy people <05971>, my horses <05483> as thy horses <05483>.
5 And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799) unto the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, Enquire <01875> (8798), I pray thee, at the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> to day <03117>.
6 Then the king <04428> of Israel <03478> gathered <06908> <00> the prophets <05030> together <06908> (8799), about four <0702> hundred <03967> men <0376>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Shall I go <03212> (8799) against Ramothgilead <07433> <01568> to battle <04421>, or shall I forbear <02308> (8799)? And they said <0559> (8799), Go up <05927> (8798); for the Lord <0136> shall deliver <05414> (8799) it into the hand <03027> of the king <04428>.
7 And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799), Is there not here a prophet <05030> of the LORD <03068> besides <05750>, that we might enquire <01875> (8799) of him?
8 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, There is yet one <0259> man <0376>, Micaiah <04321> the son <01121> of Imlah <03229>, by whom we may enquire <01875> (8800) of the LORD <03068>: but I hate <08130> (8804) him; for he doth not prophesy <05012> (8691) good <02896> concerning me, but evil <07451>. And Jehoshaphat <03092> said <0559> (8799), Let not the king <04428> say <0559> (8799) so.
9 Then the king <04428> of Israel <03478> called <07121> (8799) an <0259> officer <05631>, and said <0559> (8799), Hasten <04116> (8761) hither Micaiah <04321> the son <01121> of Imlah <03229>.
10 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> and Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> sat <03427> (8802) each <0376> on his throne <03678>, having put on <03847> (8794) their robes <0899>, in a void place <01637> in the entrance <06607> of the gate <08179> of Samaria <08111>; and all the prophets <05030> prophesied <05012> (8693) before <06440> them.
11 And Zedekiah <06667> the son <01121> of Chenaanah <03668> made <06213> (8799) him horns <07161> of iron <01270>: and he said <0559> (8799), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, With these shalt thou push <05055> (8762) the Syrians <0758>, until thou have consumed <03615> (8763) them.
12 And all the prophets <05030> prophesied <05012> (8737) so, saying <0559> (8800), Go up <05927> (8798) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>, and prosper <06743> (8685): for the LORD <03068> shall deliver <05414> (8804) it into the king's <04428> hand <03027>.
13 And the messenger <04397> that was gone <01980> (8804) to call <07121> (8800) Micaiah <04321> spake <01696> (8765) unto him, saying <0559> (8800), Behold now, the words <01697> of the prophets <05030> declare good <02896> unto the king <04428> with one <0259> mouth <06310>: let thy word <01697>, I pray thee, be like the word <01697> of one <0259> of them, and speak <01696> (8765) that which is good <02896>.
14 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), As the LORD <03068> liveth <02416>, what the LORD <03068> saith <0559> (8799) unto me, that will I speak <01696> (8762).
15 # So he came <0935> (8799) to the king <04428>. And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Micaiah <04321>, shall we go <03212> (8799) against Ramothgilead <07433> <01568> to battle <04421>, or shall we forbear <02308> (8799)? And he answered <0559> (8799) him, Go <05927> (8798), and prosper <06743> (8685): for the LORD <03068> shall deliver <05414> (8804) it into the hand <03027> of the king <04428>.
16 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto him, How many times <06471> shall I adjure <07650> (8688) thee that thou tell <01696> (8762) me nothing but that which is true <0571> in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>?
17 And he said <0559> (8799), I saw <07200> (8804) all Israel <03478> scattered <06327> (8737) upon the hills <02022>, as sheep <06629> that have not a shepherd <07462> (8802): and the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), These have no master <0113>: let them return <07725> (8799) every man <0376> to his house <01004> in peace <07965> .

18 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, Did I not tell <0559> (8804) thee that he would prophesy <05012> (8691) no good <02896> concerning me, but evil <07451>?
19 And he said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798) thou therefore the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> : I saw <07200> (8804) the LORD <03068> sitting <03427> (8802) on his throne <03678>, and all the host <06635> of heaven <08064> standing <05975> (8802) by him on his right hand <03225> and on his left <08040>.
20 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), Who shall persuade <06601> (8762) Ahab <0256>, that he may go up <05927> (8799) and fall <05307> (8799) at Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>? And one said <0559> (8799) on this manner <03541>, and another said <0559> (8802) on that manner <03541>.
21 And there came forth <03318> (8799) a spirit <07307>, and stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), I will persuade <06601> (8762) him.
22 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Wherewith? And he said <0559> (8799), I will go forth <03318> (8799), and I will be a lying <08267> spirit <07307> in the mouth <06310> of all his prophets <05030>. And he said <0559> (8799), Thou shalt persuade <06601> (8762) him, and prevail <03201> (8799) also: go forth <03318> (8798) , and do <06213> (8798) so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD <03068> hath put <05414> (8804) a lying <08267> spirit <07307> in the mouth <06310> of all these thy prophets <05030>, and the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) evil <07451> concerning thee.
24 But Zedekiah <06667> the son <01121> of Chenaanah <03668> went near <05066> (8799), and smote <05221> (8686) Micaiah <04321> on the cheek <03895>, and said <0559> (8799), Which way <0335> went <05674> (8804) the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> from me to speak <01696> (8763) unto thee?

25 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), Behold, thou shalt see <07200> (8802) in that day <03117> , when thou shalt go <0935> (8799) into an inner <02315> chamber <02315> to hide <02247> (8736) thyself.
26 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799), Take <03947> (8798) Micaiah <04321> , and carry him back <07725> (8685) unto Amon <0526> the governor <08269> of the city <05892>, and to Joash <03101> the king's <04428> son <01121>;
27 And say <0559> (8804), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the king <04428>, Put <07760> (8798) this fellow in the prison <01004> <03608>, and feed <0398> (8685) him with bread <03899> of affliction <03906> and with water <04325> of affliction <03906>, until I come <0935> (8800) in peace <07965>.
28 And Micaiah <04321> said <0559> (8799), If thou return <07725> (8799) at all <07725> (8800) in peace <07965>, the LORD <03068> hath not spoken <01696> (8765) by me. And he said <0559> (8799), Hearken <08085> (8798), O people <05971>, every one of you.
29 # So the king <04428> of Israel <03478> and Jehoshaphat <03092> the king <04428> of Judah <03063> went up <05927> (8799) to Ramothgilead <07433> <01568>.
30 And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559> (8799) unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, I will disguise <02664> (8692) myself, and enter <0935> (8800) into the battle <04421>; but put thou on <03847> (8798) thy robes <0899> . And the king <04428> of Israel <03478> disguised <02664> (8691) himself, and went <0935> (8799) into the battle <04421>.
31 But the king <04428> of Syria <0758> commanded <06680> (8765) his thirty <07970> and two <08147> captains <08269> that had rule over his chariots <07393>, saying <0559> (8800), Fight <03898> (8735) neither with small <06996> nor great <01419>, save only with the king <04428> of Israel <03478>.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains <08269> of the chariots <07393> saw <07200> (8800) Jehoshaphat <03092> , that they said <0559> (8804), Surely it is the king <04428> of Israel <03478>. And they turned aside <05493> (8799) to fight <03898> (8736) against him: and Jehoshaphat <03092> cried out <02199> (8799).
33 And it came to pass, when the captains <08269> of the chariots <07393> perceived <07200> (8800) that it was not the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, that they turned back <07725> (8799) from pursuing <0310> him.
34 And a certain man <0376> drew <04900> (8804) a bow <07198> at a venture <08537>, and smote <05221> (8686) the king <04428> of Israel <03478> between the joints <01694> of the harness <08302>: wherefore he said <0559> (8799) unto the driver of his chariot <07395>, Turn <02015> (8798) thine hand <03027>, and carry me out <03318> (8685) of the host <04264>; for I am wounded <02470> (8717).
35 And the battle <04421> increased <05927> (8799) that day <03117>: and the king <04428> was stayed up <05975> (8716) in his chariot <04818> against <05227> the Syrians <0758>, and died <04191> (8799) at even <06153> : and the blood <01818> ran out <03332> (8799) of the wound <04347> into the midst <02436> of the chariot <07393>.
36 And there went <05674> (8799) a proclamation <07440> throughout the host <04264> about the going down <0935> (8800) of the sun <08121>, saying <0559> (8800), Every man <0376> to his city <05892>, and every man <0376> to his own country <0776>.
37 So the king <04428> died <04191> (8799), and was brought <0935> (8799) to Samaria <08111>; and they buried <06912> (8799) the king <04428> in Samaria <08111>.
38 And one washed <07857> (8799) the chariot <07393> in the pool <01295> of Samaria <08111>; and the dogs <03611> licked up <03952> (8799) his blood <01818>; and they washed <07364> (8804) his armour <02185>; according unto the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> which he spake <01696> (8765).
39 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Ahab <0256>, and all that he did <06213> (8804), and the ivory <08127> house <01004> which he made <01129> (8804), and all the cities <05892> that he built <01129> (8804), are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Israel <03478>?
40 So Ahab <0256> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>; and Ahaziah <0274> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
41 # And Jehoshaphat <03092> the son <01121> of Asa <0609> began to reign <04427> (8804) over Judah <03063> in the fourth <0702> year <08141> of Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel <03478>.
42 Jehoshaphat <03092> was thirty <07970> and five <02568> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800); and he reigned <04427> (8804) twenty <06242> and five <02568> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> was Azubah <05806> the daughter <01323> of Shilhi <07977>.
43 And he walked <03212> (8799) in all the ways <01870> of Asa <0609> his father <01>; he turned not aside <05493> (8804) from it, doing <06213> (8800) that which was right <03477> in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068> : nevertheless the high places <01116> were not taken away <05493> (8804); for the people <05971> offered <02076> (8764) and burnt incense <06999> (8764) yet in the high places <01116>.
44 And Jehoshaphat <03092> made peace <07999> (8686) with the king <04428> of Israel <03478>.
45 Now the rest <03499> of the acts <01697> of Jehoshaphat <03092>, and his might <01369> that he shewed <06213> (8804), and how he warred <03898> (8738), are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the chronicles <01697> <03117> of the kings <04428> of Judah <03063>?
46 And the remnant <03499> of the sodomites <06945>, which remained <07604> (8738) in the days <03117> of his father <01> Asa <0609>, he took <01197> (8765) out of the land <0776>.
47 There was then no king <04428> in Edom <0123>: a deputy <05324> (8737) was king <04428>.
48 Jehoshaphat <03092> made <06213> (8804) (8675) <06240> ships <0591> of Tharshish <08659> to go <03212> (8800) to Ophir <0211> for gold <02091>: but they went <01980> (8804) not; for the ships <0591> were broken <07665> (8738) at Eziongeber <06100>.
49 Then said <0559> (8804) Ahaziah <0274> the son <01121> of Ahab <0256> unto Jehoshaphat <03092>, Let my servants <05650> go <03212> (8799) with thy servants <05650> in the ships <0591>. But Jehoshaphat <03092> would <014> (8804) not.
50 And Jehoshaphat <03092> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and was buried <06912> (8735) with his fathers <01> in the city <05892> of David <01732> his father <01>: and Jehoram <03088> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
51 Ahaziah <0274> the son <01121> of Ahab <0256> began to reign <04427> (8804) over Israel <03478> in Samaria <08111> the seventeenth <07651> <06240> year <08141> of Jehoshaphat <03092> king <04428> of Judah <03063> , and reigned <04427> (8799) two years <08141> over Israel <03478>.
52 And he did <06213> (8799) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and walked <03212> (8799) in the way <01870> of his father <01>, and in the way <01870> of his mother <0517>, and in the way <01870> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>, who made Israel <03478> to sin <02398> (8689):
53 For he served <05647> (8799) Baal <01168>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) him, and provoked to anger <03707> (8686) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, according to all that his father <01> had done <06213> (8804).
