And they continuedH3427 threeH7969 yearsH8141 without warH4421 between SyriaH758 and IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, that JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 came downH3381 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, KnowH3045 ye that RamothH7433 in GileadH1568 is ours, and we be stillH2814, and takeH3947 it not out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758? {still…: Heb. silent from taking it}
And he saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Wilt thou goH3212 with me to battleH4421 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, I am as thouH3644 art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, EnquireH1875, I pray thee, at the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to dayH3117.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908, about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall I goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for the LordH136 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 besidesH5750, that we might enquireH1875 of him?
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he doth not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 anH259 officerH5631, and saidH559, HastenH4116 hither MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229. {officer: or, eunuch}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH376 on his throneH3678, having put onH3847 their robesH899, in a void placeH1637 in the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 them. {void…: Heb. floor}
And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270: and he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, With these shalt thou pushH5055 the SyriansH758, until thou have consumedH3615 them.
And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the king'sH4428 handH3027.
And the messengerH4397 that was goneH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 unto the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 that which is goodH2896.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, what the LORDH3068 saithH559 unto me, that will I speakH1696.
So he cameH935 to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4321, shall we goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall we forbearH2308? And he answeredH559 him, GoH5927, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou tellH1696 me nothing but that which is trueH571 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068?
And he saidH559, I sawH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the hillsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have not a shepherdH7462: and the LORDH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113: let them returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would prophesyH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451?
And he saidH559, HearH8085 thou therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: I sawH7200 the LORDH3068 sittingH3427 on his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by him on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Who shall persuadeH6601 AhabH256, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And one saidH559 on this mannerH3541, and another saidH559 on that mannerH3541. {persuade: or, deceive}
And there came forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I will persuadeH6601 him.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and I will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt persuadeH6601 him, and prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.
But ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 went nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 on the cheekH3895, and saidH559, Which wayH335 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 in that dayH3117, when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2247 thyself. {into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 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+H3608, and feedH398 him with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and with waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, until I comeH935 in peaceH7965.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou returnH7725 at allH7725 in peaceH7965, the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, O peopleH5971, every one of you.
So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, I will disguiseH2664 myself, and enterH935 into the battleH4421; but put thou onH3847 thy robesH899. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguisedH2664 himself, and wentH935 into the battleH4421. {I will…: or, when he was to disguise himself, and enter into the battle}
But the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 commandedH6680 his thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 captainsH8269 that had rule over 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, Surely it is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. And they turned asideH5493 to fightH3898 against him: and JehoshaphatH3092 cried outH2199.
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 perceivedH7200 that it was not the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that they turned backH7725 from pursuingH310 him.
And a certain manH376 drewH4900 a bowH7198 at a ventureH8537, and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 between the jointsH1694 of the harnessH8302: wherefore he saidH559 unto the driver of his chariotH7395, TurnH2015 thine handH3027, and carry me outH3318 of the hostH4264; for I am woundedH2470. {at a…: Heb. in his simplicity} {joints…: Heb. joints and the breastplate} {wounded: Heb. made sick}
And the battleH4421 increasedH5927 that dayH3117: and the kingH4428 was stayed upH5975 in his chariotH4818 againstH5227 the SyriansH758, and diedH4191 at evenH6153: and the bloodH1818 ran outH3332 of the woundH4347 into the midstH2436 of the chariotH7393. {increased: Heb. ascended} {midst: Heb. bosom}
And there wentH5674 a proclamationH7440 throughout the hostH4264 about the going downH935 of the sunH8121, sayingH559, Every manH376 to his cityH5892, and every manH376 to his own countryH776.
So the kingH4428 diedH4191, and was broughtH935 to SamariaH8111; and they buriedH6912 the kingH4428 in SamariaH8111. {was brought: Heb. came}
And one washedH7857 the chariotH7393 in the poolH1295 of SamariaH8111; and the dogsH3611 licked upH3952 his bloodH1818; and they washedH7364 his armourH2185; according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which he spakeH1696.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of AhabH256, and all that he didH6213, and the ivoryH8127 houseH1004 which he madeH1129, and all the citiesH5892 that he builtH1129, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?
So AhabH256 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and AhaziahH274 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
And JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AsaH609 began to reignH4427 over JudahH3063 in the fourthH702 yearH8141 of AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
JehoshaphatH3092 was thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977.
And he walkedH3212 in all the waysH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1; he turned not asideH5493 from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068: nevertheless the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493; for the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 and burnt incenseH6999 yet in the high placesH1116.
And JehoshaphatH3092 made peaceH7999 with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, and his mightH1369 that he shewedH6213, and how he warredH3898, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
And the remnantH3499 of the sodomitesH6945, which remainedH7604 in the daysH3117 of his fatherH1 AsaH609, he tookH1197 out of the landH776.
There was then no kingH4428 in EdomH123: a deputyH5324 was kingH4428.
JehoshaphatH3092 madeH6213+H6240 shipsH591 of TharshishH8659 to goH3212 to OphirH211 for goldH2091: but they wentH1980 not; for the shipsH591 were brokenH7665 at EziongeberH6100. {made…: or, had ten ships}
Then saidH559 AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Let my servantsH5650 goH3212 with thy servantsH5650 in the shipsH591. But JehoshaphatH3092 wouldH14 not.
And JehoshaphatH3092 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and JehoramH3088 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
AhaziahH274 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 the seventeenthH7651+H6240 yearH8141 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427 two yearsH8141 over IsraelH3478.
And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of his fatherH1, and in the wayH1870 of his motherH517, and in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398:
For he servedH5647 BaalH1168, and worshippedH7812 him, and provoked to angerH3707 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, according to all that his fatherH1 had doneH6213.

Now therefore sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the grovesH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, which eatH398 at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979.
So he cameH935 to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4321, shall we goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall we forbearH2308? And he answeredH559 him, GoH5927, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
ForG1063 the timeG2540 will comeG2071 whenG3753 they willG430 notG3756 endureG430 soundG5198 doctrineG1319; butG235 afterG2596 their ownG2398 lustsG1939 shall they heapG2002 to themselvesG1438 teachersG1320, having itchingG2833 earsG189;
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and I will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt persuadeH6601 him, and prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.
And when he was comeH935 to the kingH4428, the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4318, shall we goH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And he saidH559, Go ye upH5927, and prosperH6743, and they shall be deliveredH5414 into your handH3027.
The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
Therefore will I giveH5414 their wivesH802 unto othersH312, and their fieldsH7704 to them that shall inheritH3423 them: for every one from the leastH6996 even unto the greatestH1419 is givenH1214 to covetousnessH1215, from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falselyH8267.
For they have healedH7495 the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, the prophetsH5030 sayH559 unto them, Ye shall not seeH7200 the swordH2719, neither shall ye have famineH7458; but I will giveH5414 you assuredH571 peaceH7965 in this placeH4725. {assured…: Heb. peace of truth}
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034: I sentH7971 them not, neither have I commandedH6680 them, neither spakeH1696 unto them: they prophesyH5012 unto you a falseH8267 visionH2377 and divinationH7081, and a thing of noughtH457+H434, and the deceitH8649 of their heartH3820.
I have seenH7200 also in the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 an horrible thingH8186: they commit adulteryH5003, and walkH1980 in liesH8267: they strengthenH2388 also the handsH3027 of evildoersH7489, that noneH376 doth returnH7725 from his wickednessH7451: they are all of them unto me as SodomH5467, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof as GomorrahH6017. {an…: or, filthiness}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 concerning the prophetsH5030; Behold, I will feedH398 them with wormwoodH3939, and make them drinkH8248 the waterH4325 of gallH7219: for from the prophetsH5030 of JerusalemH3389 is profanenessH2613 gone forthH3318 into all the landH776. {profaneness: or, hypocrisy}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, HearkenH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 unto you: they make you vainH1891: they speakH1696 a visionH2377 of their own heartH3820, and not out of the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.
They sayH559 stillH559 unto them that despiseH5006 me, The LORDH3068 hath saidH1696, Ye shall have peaceH7965; and they sayH559 unto every one that walkethH1980 after the imaginationH8307 of his own heartH3820, No evilH7451 shall comeH935 upon you. {imagination: or, stubbornness}
And it came to pass the same yearH8141, in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141, and in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, that HananiahH2608 the sonH1121 of AzurH5809 the prophetH5030, which was of GibeonH1391, spakeH559 unto me in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548 and of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, I have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Within two fullH3117 yearsH8141 will I bring againH7725 into this placeH4725 all the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 took awayH3947 from this placeH4725, and carriedH935 them to BabylonH894: {two…: Heb. two years of days}
And I will bring againH7725 to this placeH4725 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, with all the captivesH1546 of JudahH3063, that wentH935 into BabylonH894, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. {captives: Heb. captivity}
Then the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto the prophetH5030 HananiahH2608 in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548, and in the presenceH5869 of all the peopleH5971 that stoodH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
Even the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559, AmenH543: the LORDH3068 doH6213 so: the LORDH3068 performH6965 thy wordsH1697 which thou hast prophesiedH5012, to bring againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and all that is carried away captiveH1473, from BabylonH894 into this placeH4725.
Nevertheless hearH8085 thou now this wordH1697 that I speakH1696 in thine earsH241, and in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971;
The prophetsH5030 that have been beforeH6440 me and beforeH6440 thee of oldH5769 prophesiedH5012 both against manyH7227 countriesH776, and against greatH1419 kingdomsH4467, of warH4421, and of evilH7451, and of pestilenceH1698.
The prophetH5030 which prophesiethH5012 of peaceH7965, when the wordH1697 of the prophetH5030 shall come to passH935, thenH227 shall the prophetH5030 be knownH3045, that the LORDH3068 hath trulyH571 sentH7971 him.
Have ye not seenH2372 a vainH7723 visionH4236, and have ye not spokenH1696 a lyingH3577 divinationH4738, whereas ye sayH559, The LORDH3068 saithH5002 it; albeit I have not spokenH559?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye have spokenH1696 vanityH7723, and seenH2372 liesH3577, therefore, behold, I am against you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And mine handH3027 shall be upon the prophetsH5030 that seeH2374 vanityH7723, and that divineH7080 liesH3577: they shall not be in the assemblyH5475 of my peopleH5971, neither shall they be writtenH3789 in the writingH3791 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, neither shall they enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069. {assembly: or, secret, or, counsel}
Because, even because they have seducedH2937 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, PeaceH7965; and there was no peaceH7965; and one built upH1129 a wallH2434, and, loH2009, others daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter: {a wall: or, a slight wall}
SayH559 unto them which daubH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter, that it shall fallH5307: there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653; and yeH859, O great hailstonesH417+H68, shall fallH5307; and a stormyH5591 windH7307 shall rendH1234 it.
Lo, when the wallH7023 is fallenH5307, shall it not be saidH559 unto you, Where is the daubingH2915 wherewith ye have daubedH2902 it?
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will even rendH1234 it with a stormyH5591 windH7307 in my furyH2534; and there shall be an overflowingH7857 showerH1653 in mine angerH639, and great hailstonesH417+H68 in my furyH2534 to consumeH3617 it.
So will I break downH2040 the wallH7023 that ye have daubedH2902 with untemperedH8602 morter, and bringH5060 it down to the groundH776, so that the foundationH3247 thereof shall be discoveredH1540, and it shall fallH5307, and ye shall be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 thereof: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus will I accomplishH3615 my wrathH2534 upon the wallH7023, and upon them that have daubedH2902 it with untemperedH8602 morter, and will sayH559 unto you, The wallH7023 is no more, neither they that daubedH2902 it;
To wit, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478 which prophesyH5012 concerning JerusalemH3389, and which seeH2374 visionsH2377 of peaceH7965 for her, and there is no peaceH7965, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Because with liesH8267 ye have made the heartH3820 of the righteousH6662 sadH3512, whom I have not made sadH3510; and strengthenedH2388 the handsH3027 of the wickedH7451, that he should not returnH7725 from his wickedH7563 wayH1870, by promising him lifeH2421: {by…: or, that I should save his life: Heb. by quickening him}
BewareG1161+G4337 ofG575 false prophetsG5578, whichG3748 comeG2064 toG4314 youG5209 inG1722 sheep'sG4263 clothingG1742, butG1161 inwardlyG2081 they areG1526 raveningG727 wolvesG3074.
ButG1161 there wereG1096 false prophetsG5578 alsoG2532 amongG1722 the peopleG2992, evenG2532 asG5613 there shall beG2071 false teachersG5572 amongG1722 youG5213, whoG3748 privily shall bring inG3919 damnableG684 heresiesG139, evenG2532 denyingG720 the LordG1203 that boughtG59 themG846, and bringG1863 upon themselvesG1438 swiftG5031 destructionG684.
AndG2532 manyG4183 shall followG1811 theirG846 pernicious waysG684; by reason ofG1223 whomG3739 the wayG3598 of truthG225 shall be evil spoken ofG987. {pernicious ways: or, lascivious ways, as some copies read}
AndG2532 throughG1722 covetousnessG4124 shall they with feignedG4112 wordsG3056 make merchandiseG1710 of youG5209: whoseG3739 judgmentG2917 now of a long timeG1597 lingerethG691 notG3756, andG2532 theirG846 damnationG684 slumberethG3573 notG3756.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
