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.

And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, When thou goestH3212 to returnH7725 into EgyptH4714, seeH7200 that thou doH6213 all those wondersH4159 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547, which I have putH7760 in thine handH3027: but I will hardenH2388 his heartH3820, that he shall not let the peopleH5971 goH7971.
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.
But the LORDH3068 hardenedH2388 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, so that he would not let the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971.
And he saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Because thou hast let goH7971 out of thy handH3027 a manH376 whom I appointed to utter destructionH2764, therefore thy lifeH5315 shall go for his lifeH5315, and thy peopleH5971 for his peopleH5971.
But SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 wouldH14 not let us passH5674 by him: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hardenedH7185 his spiritH7307, and made his heartH3824 obstinateH553, that he might deliverH5414 him into thy handH3027, as appeareth this dayH3117.
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Hast thou killedH7523, and also taken possessionH3423? And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In the placeH4725 where dogsH3611 lickedH3952 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 shall dogsH3611 lickH3952 thy bloodH1818, even thine.
And it came to pass, as he talkedH1696 with him, that the king saidH559 unto him, Art thou madeH5414 of the king'sH4428 counselH3289? forbearH2308; why shouldest thou be smittenH5221? Then the prophetH5030 forbareH2308, and saidH559, I knowH3045 that GodH430 hath determinedH3289 to destroyH7843 thee, because thou hast doneH6213 this, and hast not hearkenedH8085 unto my counselH6098. {determined: Heb. counselled}
GodH410 is not a manH376, that he should lieH3576; neither the sonH1121 of manH120, that he should repentH5162: hath he saidH559, and shall he not doH6213 it? or hath he spokenH1696, and shall he not make it goodH6965?
And he saidH559, GoH3212, and tellH559 this peopleH5971, HearH8085 ye indeedH8085, but understandH995 not; and seeH7200 ye indeedH7200, but perceiveH3045 not. {indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc}
Behold, I have receivedH3947 commandment to blessH1288: and he hath blessedH1288; and I cannot reverseH7725 it.
Make the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 fatH8080, and make their earsH241 heavyH3513, and shutH8173 their eyesH5869; lest they seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, and hearH8085 with their earsH241, and understandH995 with their heartH3824, and convertH7725, and be healedH7495.
If BalakH1111 would giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I cannotH3201 go beyondH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 either goodH2896 or badH7451 of mine own mindH3820; but what the LORDH3068 saithH1696, that will I speakH1696?
He feedethH7462 on ashesH665: a deceivedH2048 heartH3820 hath turned him asideH5186, that he cannot deliverH5337 his soulH5315, nor sayH559, Is there not a lieH8267 in my right handH3225?
WoeH188 unto the wickedH7563! it shall be illH7451 with him: for the rewardH1576 of his handsH3027 shall be givenH6213 him. {given…: Heb. done to him}
SonH1121 of manH120, these menH582 have set upH5927 their idolsH1544 in their heartH3820, and putH5414 the stumblingblockH4383 of their iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 their faceH6440: should I be enquiredH1875 of at allH1875 by them?
Therefore speakH1696 unto them, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Every manH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that setteth upH5927 his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, and puttethH7760 the stumblingblockH4383 of his iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 his faceH6440, and comethH935 to the prophetH5030; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 him that comethH935 according to the multitudeH7230 of his idolsH1544;
That I may takeH8610 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 in their own heartH3820, because they are all estrangedH2114 from me through their idolsH1544.
And if the prophetH5030 be deceivedH6601 when he hath spokenH1696 a thingH1697, I the LORDH3068 have deceivedH6601 that prophetH5030, and I will stretch outH5186 my handH3027 upon him, and will destroyH8045 him from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 speak IG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 they seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920.
AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG4394 of EsaiasG2268, whichG3588 saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3364 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG1492 notG3364 perceiveG1492:
ForG1063 thisG5127 people'sG2992 heartG2588 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are dullG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.
