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.

He that saithH559 unto the wickedH7563, Thou art righteousH6662; him shall the peopleH5971 curseH5344, nationsH3816 shall abhorH2194 him:
But to them that rebukeH3198 him shall be delightH5276, and a goodH2896 blessingH1293 shall comeH935 upon them. {a good…: Heb. a blessing of good}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that make my peopleH5971 errH8582, that biteH5391 with their teethH8127, and cryH7121, PeaceH7965; and he that puttethH5414 not into their mouthsH6310, they even prepareH6942 warH4421 against him.
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.
TheseG3778 areG1526 murmurersG1113, complainersG3202, walkingG4198 afterG2596 their ownG846 lustsG1939; andG2532 theirG846 mouthG4750 speakethG2980 great swellingG5246 words, having men's personsG4383 in admirationG2296 becauseG5484 of advantageG5622.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 threeG5140 uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 likeG3664 frogsG944 come out ofG1537 the mouthG4750 of the dragonG1404, andG2532 out ofG1537 the mouthG4750 of the beastG2342, andG2532 out ofG1537 the mouthG4750 of the false prophetG5578.
ForG1063 they areG1526 the spiritsG4151 of devilsG1142, workingG4160 miraclesG4592, which go forthG1607+G3739+G1607 untoG1909 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 andG2532 of the wholeG3650 worldG3625, to gatherG4863 themG846 toG1519 the battleG4171 of thatG1565 greatG3173 dayG2250 of GodG2316 AlmightyG3841.
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.
