Now JehoshaphatH3092 had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230, and joined affinityH2859 with AhabH256.
And afterH7093 certain yearsH8141 he went downH3381 to AhabH256 to SamariaH8111. And AhabH256 killedH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 for him in abundanceH7230, and for the peopleH5971 that he had with him, and persuadedH5496 him to go upH5927 with him to RamothgileadH7433+H1568. {after…: Heb. at the end of years}
And AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, Wilt thou goH3212 with me to RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And he answeredH559 him, I am as thou art, and my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971; and we will be with thee in the warH4421.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, EnquireH1875, I pray thee, at the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to dayH3117.
Therefore the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 gathered togetherH6908 of prophetsH5030 fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376, and saidH559 unto them, Shall we goH3212 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And they saidH559, Go upH5927; for GodH430 will deliverH5414 it into the king'sH4428 handH3027.
But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 besides, that we might enquireH1875 of him? {besides: Heb. yet, or, more}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he never prophesiedH5012 goodH2896 unto me, but alwaysH3117 evilH7451: the same is MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlaH3229. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 for oneH259 of his officersH5631, and saidH559, Fetch quicklyH4116 MicaiahH4319 the sonH1121 of ImlaH3229. {officers: or, eunuchs} {Fetch…: Heb. Hasten}
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eitherH376 of them on his throneH3678, clothedH3847 in their robesH899, and they satH3427 in a void placeH1637 at the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 them. {void…: or, floor}
And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 had madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, With these thou shalt pushH5055 SyriaH758 until they be consumedH3615. {they…: Heb. thou consume them}
And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.
And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 to him, sayingH559, Behold, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 assentH6310; let thy wordH1697 therefore, I pray thee, be like oneH259 of theirs, and speakH1696 thou goodH2896. {with…: Heb. with one mouth}
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, even what my GodH430 saithH559, that will I speakH1696.
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.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou sayH1696 nothing but the truthH571 to me in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068?
Then he saidH559, I did seeH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the mountainsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have no shepherdH7462: and the LORDH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113; let them returnH7725 therefore every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 unto me, but evilH7451? {but evil: or, but for evil}
Again he saidH559, Therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; I sawH7200 the LORDH3068 sittingH3427 upon his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Who shall enticeH6601 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And one spakeH559 sayingH559 after this mannerH3602, and another sayingH559 after that mannerH3602.
Then there came outH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I will enticeH6601 him. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith?
And he saidH559, I will go outH3318, and be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And the LORD saidH559, Thou shalt enticeH6601 him, and thou shalt also prevailH3201: go outH3318, and doH6213 even so.
Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 against thee.
Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 came nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 upon the cheekH3895, and saidH559, WhichH335 wayH1870 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 on that dayH3117 when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2244 thyself. {into…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}
Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 ye MicaiahH4321, and carry him backH7725 to 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 returnH7725 in peaceH7965.
And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou certainlyH7725 returnH7725 in peaceH7965, then hath not the LORDH3068 spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, all ye peopleH5971.
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 will goH935 to the battleH4421; but putH3847 thou on thy robesH899. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 disguisedH2664 himself; and they wentH935 to the battleH4421.
Now the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 had commandedH6680 the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 that were with him, sayingH559, FightH3898 ye not with smallH6996 or greatH1419, save only with the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, that they saidH559, It is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. Therefore they compassed aboutH5437 him to fightH3898: but JehoshaphatH3092 cried outH2199, and the LORDH3068 helpedH5826 him; and GodH430 movedH5496 them to depart from him.
For it came to pass, that, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 perceivedH7200 that it was not the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, they turned back againH7725 from pursuingH310 him. {from…: Heb. from after him}
And a certain man drewH4900 a bowH7198 at a ventureH8537, and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 between the jointsH1694 of the harnessH8302: therefore he saidH559 to his chariotH7395 manH376, TurnH2015 thine handH3027, that thou mayest carry me outH3318 of the hostH4264; for I am woundedH2470. {at a venture: Heb. in his simplicity} {between…: Heb. between the joints and between the breastplate} {wounded: Heb. made sick}
And the battleH4421 increasedH5927 that dayH3117: howbeit the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 stayed himself upH5975 in his chariotH4818 againstH5227 the SyriansH758 until the evenH6153: and about the timeH6256 of the sunH8121 going downH935 he diedH4191.

And GodH430 saidH559 to SolomonH8010, Because this was in thine heartH3824, and thou hast not askedH7592 richesH6239, wealthH5233, or honourH3519, nor the lifeH5315 of thine enemiesH8130, neither yet hast askedH7592 longH7227 lifeH3117; but hast askedH7592 wisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 for thyself, that thou mayest judgeH8199 my peopleH5971, over whom I have made thee kingH4427:
WisdomH2451 and knowledgeH4093 is grantedH5414 unto thee; and I will giveH5414 thee richesH6239, and wealthH5233, and honourH3519, such as none of the kingsH4428 have had that have been beforeH6440 thee, neither shall there any afterH310 thee have the like.
Then SolomonH8010 cameH935 from his journey to the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391 to JerusalemH3389, from beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478.
And SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, which he placedH3240 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 and goldH2091 at JerusalemH3389 as plenteous as stonesH68, and cedar treesH730 madeH5414 he as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the valeH8219 for abundanceH7230. {made: Heb. gave}
And it came to pass, when the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 sawH7200 JehoshaphatH3092, that they saidH559, It is the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. Therefore they compassed aboutH5437 him to fightH3898: but JehoshaphatH3092 cried outH2199, and the LORDH3068 helpedH5826 him; and GodH430 movedH5496 them to depart from him.
Therefore the LORDH3068 stablishedH3559 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027; and all JudahH3063 broughtH5414 to JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503; and he had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230. {brought: Heb. gave}
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 the seerH2374 went outH3318 to meetH6440 him, and saidH559 to kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Shouldest thou helpH5826 the ungodlyH7563, and loveH157 them that hateH8130 the LORDH3068? thereforeH2063 is wrathH7110 upon thee from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And JehoshaphatH3092 waxedH1980 greatH1432 exceedinglyH4605; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castlesH1003, and citiesH5892 of storeH4543. {castles: or, palaces}
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, like as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 to wifeH802: and he wroughtH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.
ButG1161 seek yeG2212 firstG4412 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG2532 hisG846 righteousnessG1343; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG5023 shall be addedG4369 unto youG5213.
FortyH705 and twoH8147 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. His mother'sH517 nameH8034 also was AthaliahH6271 the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018.
He also walkedH1980 in the waysH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for his motherH517 was his counsellorH3289 to do wickedlyH7561.
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thingH7043 for him to walkH3212 in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, that he tookH3947 to wifeH802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of EthbaalH856 kingH4428 of the ZidoniansH6722, and wentH3212 and servedH5647 BaalH1168, and worshippedH7812 him. {as if…: Heb. was it a light thing, etc}
And he reared upH6965 an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 in the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, which he had builtH1129 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 madeH6213 a groveH842; and AhabH256 didH6213 moreH3254 to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 than all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
But there was none like unto AhabH256, which did sellH4376 himself to workH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, whom JezebelH348 his wifeH802 stirred upH5496. {stirred…: or, incited}
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 was his wifeH802: and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
TwoH8147 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 was AhaziahH274 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 oneH259 yearH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AthaliahH6271, the daughterH1323 of OmriH6018 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. {daughter: or, granddaughter}
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, as did the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he was the son in lawH2860 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256.
