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.

If these men dieH4191 the common deathH4194 of all menH120, or if they be visitedH6485 after the visitationH6486 of all menH120; then the LORDH3068 hath not sentH7971 me. {the common…: Heb. as every man dieth}
And ElijahH452 cameH5066 unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How longH5921 haltH6452 ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212+H310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697. {opinions: or, thoughts}
Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.
Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408, and layH7760 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213 the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
But the prophetH5030, which shall presumeH2102 to speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my nameH8034, which I have not commandedH6680 him to speakH1696, or that shall speakH1696 in the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, even that prophetH5030 shall dieH4191.
And if thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, How shall we knowH3045 the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696?
When a prophetH5030 speakethH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, if the thingH1697 follow not, nor come to passH935, that is the thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696, but the prophetH5030 hath spokenH1696 it presumptuouslyH2087: thou shalt not be afraidH1481 of him.
And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.
And ElijahH452 answeredH6030 and saidH1696 to the captainH8269 of fiftyH2572, If I be a manH376 of GodH430, then let fireH784 come downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumeH398 thee and thy fiftyH2572. And there came downH3381 fireH784 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 him and his fiftyH2572.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.
And ElijahH452 answeredH6030 and saidH1696 unto them, If I be a manH376 of GodH430, let fireH784 come downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumeH398 thee and thy fiftyH2572. And the fireH784 of GodH430 came downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 him and his fiftyH2572.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou certainlyH7725 returnH7725 in peaceH7965, then hath not the LORDH3068 spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, all ye peopleH5971.
That confirmethH6965 the wordH1697 of his servantH5650, and performethH7999 the counselH6098 of his messengersH4397; that saithH559 to JerusalemH3389, Thou shalt be inhabitedH3427; and to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, Ye shall be builtH1129, and I will raise upH6965 the decayed placesH2723 thereof: {decayed…: Heb. wastes}
HearH8085 this wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 against you, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, against the whole familyH4940 which I brought upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559,
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.
HearH8085, all ye peopleH5971; hearkenH7181, O earthH776, and all that thereinH4393 is: and let the LordH136 GODH3069 be witnessH5707 against you, the LordH136 from his holyH6944 templeH1964. {all ye…: Heb. ye people, all of them} {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
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.
AndG2532 when he had calledG4341 allG3956 the peopleG3793 unto him, he saidG3004 unto themG846, HearkenG191 unto meG3450 every oneG3956 of you, andG2532 understandG4920:
There isG2076 nothingG3762 from withoutG1855 a manG444, thatG3739 enteringG1531 intoG1519 himG846 canG1410 defileG2840 himG846: butG235 the things which comeG1607 out ofG575 himG846, thoseG1565 are theyG2076 that defileG2840 the manG444.
If any manG1536 haveG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
And saidG2036, OG5599 fullG4134 of allG3956 subtiltyG1388 andG2532 allG3956 mischiefG4468, thou childG5207 of the devilG1228, thou enemyG2190 of allG3956 righteousnessG1343, wilt thouG3973 notG3756 ceaseG3973 to pervertG1294 the rightG2117 waysG3598 of the LordG2962?
DavidG1138 thereforeG3767 himselfG846 callethG3004 himG846 LordG2962; andG2532 whenceG4159 is heG2076 then hisG846 sonG5207? AndG2532 the commonG4183 peopleG3793 heardG191 himG846 gladlyG2234.
AndG2532 nowG3568, beholdG2400, the handG5495 of the LordG2962 is uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 thou shalt beG2071 blindG5185, notG3361 seeingG991 the sunG2246 forG891 a seasonG2540. AndG1161 immediatelyG3916 there fellG1968 onG1909 himG846 a mistG887 andG2532 a darknessG4655; andG2532 he went aboutG4013 seekingG2212 some to lead him by the handG5497.
