And JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead, and strengthenedH2388 himself against IsraelH3478.
And he placedH5414 forcesH2428 in all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and setH5414 garrisonsH5333 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of EphraimH669, which AsaH609 his fatherH1 had takenH3920.
And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, because he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 not unto BaalimH1168; {of…: or, of his father, and of David}
But soughtH1875 to the LORD GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and not after the doingsH4639 of IsraelH3478.
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 his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: moreover he took awayH5493 the high placesH1116 and grovesH842 out of JudahH3063. {was…: that is, was encouraged}
Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 to his princesH8269, even to BenhailH1134, and to ObadiahH5662, and to ZechariahH2148, and to NethaneelH5417, and to MichaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And with them he sent LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and TobadonijahH2899, LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, priestsH3548.
And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, and had the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them, and went aboutH5437 throughout all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 the peopleH5971.
And the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 fell upon all the kingdomsH4467 of the landsH776 that were round aboutH5439 JudahH3063, so that they made no warH3898 against JehoshaphatH3092. {fell: Heb. was}
Also some of the PhilistinesH6430 broughtH935 JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503, and tributeH4853 silverH3701; and the ArabiansH6163 broughtH935 him flocksH6629, sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 he goatsH8495.
And JehoshaphatH3092 waxedH1980 greatH1432 exceedinglyH4605; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castlesH1003, and citiesH5892 of storeH4543. {castles: or, palaces}
And he had muchH7227 businessH4399 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063: and the menH582 of warH4421, mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, were in JerusalemH3389.
And these are the numbersH6486 of them according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1: Of JudahH3063, the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505; AdnahH5734 the chiefH8269, and with him mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505.
And nextH3027 to him was JehohananH3076 the captainH8269, and with him two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505. {next…: Heb. at his hand}
And nextH3027 him was AmasiahH6007 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, who willingly offeredH5068 himself unto the LORDH3068; and with him two hundredH3967 thousandH505 mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And of BenjaminH1144; EliadaH450 a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428, and with him armed menH5401 with bowH7198 and shieldH4043 two hundredH3967 thousandH505.
And nextH3027 him was JehozabadH3075, and with him an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 ready preparedH2502 for the warH6635.
These waitedH8334 on the kingH4428, beside those whom the kingH4428 putH5414 in the fencedH4013 citiesH5892 throughout all JudahH3063.
And JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead, and strengthenedH2388 himself against IsraelH3478.
And he placedH5414 forcesH2428 in all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and setH5414 garrisonsH5333 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of EphraimH669, which AsaH609 his fatherH1 had takenH3920.
And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, because he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 not unto BaalimH1168; {of…: or, of his father, and of David}
But soughtH1875 to the LORD GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and not after the doingsH4639 of IsraelH3478.
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 his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: moreover he took awayH5493 the high placesH1116 and grovesH842 out of JudahH3063. {was…: that is, was encouraged}
Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 to his princesH8269, even to BenhailH1134, and to ObadiahH5662, and to ZechariahH2148, and to NethaneelH5417, and to MichaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
And with them he sent LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and TobadonijahH2899, LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, priestsH3548.
And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, and had the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them, and went aboutH5437 throughout all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 the peopleH5971.
And the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 fell upon all the kingdomsH4467 of the landsH776 that were round aboutH5439 JudahH3063, so that they made no warH3898 against JehoshaphatH3092. {fell: Heb. was}
Also some of the PhilistinesH6430 broughtH935 JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503, and tributeH4853 silverH3701; and the ArabiansH6163 broughtH935 him flocksH6629, sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 he goatsH8495.
And JehoshaphatH3092 waxedH1980 greatH1432 exceedinglyH4605; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castlesH1003, and citiesH5892 of storeH4543. {castles: or, palaces}
And he had muchH7227 businessH4399 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063: and the menH582 of warH4421, mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, were in JerusalemH3389.
And these are the numbersH6486 of them according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1: Of JudahH3063, the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505; AdnahH5734 the chiefH8269, and with him mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505.
And nextH3027 to him was JehohananH3076 the captainH8269, and with him two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505. {next…: Heb. at his hand}
And nextH3027 him was AmasiahH6007 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, who willingly offeredH5068 himself unto the LORDH3068; and with him two hundredH3967 thousandH505 mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And of BenjaminH1144; EliadaH450 a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428, and with him armed menH5401 with bowH7198 and shieldH4043 two hundredH3967 thousandH505.
And nextH3027 him was JehozabadH3075, and with him an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 ready preparedH2502 for the warH6635.
These waitedH8334 on the kingH4428, beside those whom the kingH4428 putH5414 in the fencedH4013 citiesH5892 throughout all JudahH3063.
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 JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead, and strengthenedH2388 himself against IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, because he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 not unto BaalimH1168; {of…: or, of his father, and of David}
But soughtH1875 to the LORD GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and not after the doingsH4639 of IsraelH3478.
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 his heartH3820 was lifted upH1361 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: moreover he took awayH5493 the high placesH1116 and grovesH842 out of JudahH3063. {was…: that is, was encouraged}
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.
Now JehoshaphatH3092 had richesH6239 and honourH3519 in abundanceH7230, and joined affinityH2859 with AhabH256.
ForG3754 he that sowethG4687 toG1519 hisG1438 fleshG4561 shallG2325 ofG1537 the fleshG4561 reapG2325 corruptionG5356; butG1161 he that sowethG4687 toG1519 the SpiritG4151 shallG2325 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 reapG2325 lifeG2222 everlastingG166.
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}
Then AchishH397 gaveH5414 him ZiklagH6860 that dayH3117: wherefore ZiklagH6860 pertaineth unto the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117.
And it came to pass in those daysH3117, that the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH6908 their armiesH4264 togetherH6908 for warfareH6635, to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478. And AchishH397 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, KnowH3045 thou assuredlyH3045, that thou shalt go outH3318 with me to battleH4264, thou and thy menH582.
PureG2513 religionG2356 andG2532 undefiledG283 beforeG3844 GodG2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 isG2076 thisG3778, To visitG1980 the fatherlessG3737 andG2532 widowsG5503 inG1722 theirG846 afflictionG2347, and to keepG5083 himselfG1438 unspottedG784 fromG575 the worldG2889.
That the slayerH7523 might fleeH5127 thither, which should killH7523 his neighbourH7453 unawaresH1097+H1847, and hatedH8130 him not in timesH8543 pastH8032; and that fleeingH5127 unto oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892 he might liveH2425:
Namely, BezerH1221 in the wildernessH4057, in the plainH4334 countryH776, of the ReubenitesH7206; and RamothH7216 in GileadH1568, of the GaditesH1425; and GolanH1474 in BashanH1316, of the ManassitesH4520.
They professG3670 that they knowG1492 GodG2316; butG1161 in worksG2041 they denyG720 him, beingG5607 abominableG947, andG2532 disobedientG545, andG2532 untoG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 reprobateG96. {reprobate: or, void of judgment}
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Hath the LORDH3068 as great delightH2656 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068? Behold, to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077, and to hearkenH7181 than the fatH2459 of ramsH352.
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 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.
WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that judgestG2919 another man'sG245 servantG3610? to his ownG2398 masterG2962 he standethG4739 orG2228 fallethG4098. YeaG1161, he shall be holden upG2476: forG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 ableG1415 to makeG2476 himG846 standG2476.
AndG2532 whetherG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 sufferG3958, allG3956 the membersG3196 suffer with itG4841; orG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 be honouredG1392, allG3956 the membersG3196 rejoice with itG4796.
ForG1063+G2532 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 areG907 weG2249 allG3956 baptizedG907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 we be JewsG2453 orG1535 GentilesG1672, whetherG1535 we be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658; andG2532 have beenG4222 allG3956 made to drinkG4222 intoG1519 oneG1520 SpiritG4151. {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, EnquireH1875, I pray thee, at the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to dayH3117.
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 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.
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}
Ye adulterersG3432 andG2532 adulteressesG3428, know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the friendshipG5373 of the worldG2889 isG2076 enmityG2189 with GodG2316? whosoeverG3739+G302 thereforeG3767 will beG1511+G1014 a friendG5384 of the worldG2889 isG2525 the enemyG2190 of GodG2316.
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.
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.
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.
AndG2532 PeterG4074 rememberedG3415 the wordG4487 of JesusG2424, whichG3588 saidG2046 unto himG846, BeforeG3754+G4250 the cockG220 crowG5455, thou shalt denyG533 meG3165 thriceG5151. AndG2532 he went outG1854, andG1831 weptG2799 bitterlyG4090.
I will ariseG450 and goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 fatherG3962, andG2532 will sayG2046 unto himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 beforeG1799 theeG4675,
AndG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4675 sonG5207: makeG4160 meG3165 asG5613 oneG1520 of thyG4675 hired servantsG3407.
AndG2532 he aroseG450, and cameG2064 toG4314 hisG1438 fatherG3962. ButG1161 when heG846 was yetG2089 a great wayG3112 offG568, hisG846 fatherG3962 sawG1492 himG846, andG2532 had compassionG4697, andG2532 ranG5143, and fellG1968 onG1909 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.
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 JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 returnedH7725 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965 to JerusalemH3389.
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.
NeverthelessH61 there are goodH2896 thingsH1697 foundH4672 in thee, in that thou hast taken awayH1197 the grovesH842 out of the landH776, and hast preparedH3559 thine heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430.
And JehoshaphatH3092 dweltH3427 at JerusalemH3389: and he went outH3318 againH7725 through the peopleH5971 from BeershebaH884 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, and brought them backH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {he went…: Heb. he returned and went out}
And he setH5975 judgesH8199 in the landH776 throughout all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, cityH5892 by cityH5892,
And saidH559 to the judgesH8199, Take heedH7200 what ye doH6213: for ye judgeH8199 not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068, who is with you in the judgmentH1697+H4941. {in…: Heb. in the matter of judgment}
Wherefore now let the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 be upon you; take heedH8104 and doH6213 it: for there is no iniquityH5766 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, nor respectH4856 of personsH6440, nor takingH4727 of giftsH7810.
Moreover in JerusalemH3389 did JehoshaphatH3092 setH5975 of the LevitesH3881, and of the priestsH3548, and of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, for the judgmentH4941 of the LORDH3068, and for controversiesH7379, when they returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389.
And he chargedH6680 them, sayingH559, Thus shall ye doH6213 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, faithfullyH530, and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824.
And what causeH7379 soever shall comeH935 to you of your brethrenH251 that dwellH3427 in their citiesH5892, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between lawH8451 and commandmentH4687, statutesH2706 and judgmentsH4941, ye shall even warnH2094 them that they trespassH816 not against the LORDH3068, and so wrathH7110 come upon you, and upon your brethrenH251: thisH3541 doH6213, and ye shall not trespassH816.
And, behold, AmariahH568 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 is over you in all mattersH1697 of the LORDH3068; and ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of IshmaelH3458, the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, for all the king'sH4428 mattersH1697: also the LevitesH3881 shall be officersH7860 beforeH6440 you. DealH6213 courageouslyH2388, and the LORDH3068 shall be with the goodH2896. {Deal…: Heb. Take courage and do}
And JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 returnedH7725 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965 to JerusalemH3389.
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 dweltH3427 at JerusalemH3389: and he went outH3318 againH7725 through the peopleH5971 from BeershebaH884 to mountH2022 EphraimH669, and brought them backH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {he went…: Heb. he returned and went out}
And saidH559 to the judgesH8199, Take heedH7200 what ye doH6213: for ye judgeH8199 not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068, who is with you in the judgmentH1697+H4941. {in…: Heb. in the matter of judgment}
ButG1161 yeG5210 deniedG720 the Holy OneG40 andG2532 the JustG1342, andG2532 desiredG154 a murdererG5406+G435 to be grantedG5483 unto youG5213;
Wherefore now let the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 be upon you; take heedH8104 and doH6213 it: for there is no iniquityH5766 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, nor respectH4856 of personsH6440, nor takingH4727 of giftsH7810.
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}
It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
Then there cameH935 some that toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, There comethH935 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 against thee from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 on this side SyriaH758; and, behold, they be in HazazontamarH2688, which is EngediH5872.
And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 all JudahH3063. {himself: Heb. his face}
And JudahH3063 gathered themselves togetherH6908, to askH1245 help of the LORDH3068: even out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
And JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the newH2319 courtH2691,
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, art not thou GodH430 in heavenH8064? and rulestH4910 not thou over all the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471? and in thine handH3027 is there not powerH3581 and mightH1369, so that none is able to withstandH3320 thee?
Art not thou our GodH430, who didst drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavestH5414 it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? {who: Heb. thou}
And they dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559,
If, when evilH7451 comethH935 upon us, as the swordH2719, judgmentH8196, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, we standH5975 beforeH6440 this houseH1004, and in thy presenceH6440, (for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004,) and cryH2199 unto thee in our afflictionH6869, then thou wilt hearH8085 and helpH3467.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
Behold, I say, how they rewardH1580 us, to comeH935 to cast us outH1644 of thy possessionH3425, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423.
O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
And all JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, withH1571 their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121.
Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951;
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, worshippingH7812 the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, and of the childrenH1121 of the KorhitesH7145, stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 on highH4605.
And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and went forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they went forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; BelieveH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743.
And when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {that…: Heb. praisers}
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
For the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stood upH5975 against the inhabitantsH3427 of mountH2022 SeirH8165, utterly to slayH2763 and destroyH8045 them: and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, every oneH376 helpedH5826 to destroyH4889 anotherH7453. {to destroy: Heb. for the destruction}
And when JudahH3063 cameH935 toward the watch towerH4707+H4708 in the wildernessH4057, they lookedH6437 unto the multitudeH1995, and, behold, they were dead bodiesH6297 fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and none escapedH6413. {none…: Heb. there was not an escaping}
And when JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to take awayH962 the spoilH7998 of them, they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230 both richesH7399 with the dead bodiesH6297, and preciousH2532 jewelsH3627, which they stripped offH5337 for themselves, more thanH369 they could carry awayH4853: and they were threeH7969 daysH3117 in gatheringH962 of the spoilH7998, it was so muchH7227.
And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294; for there they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068: therefore the nameH8034 of the same placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, unto this dayH3117. {Berachah: that is, blessing}
Then they returnedH7725, every manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and JehoshaphatH3092 in the forefrontH7218 of them, to go againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057; for the LORDH3068 had made them to rejoiceH8055 over their enemiesH341. {forefront: Heb. head}
And they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And the fearH6343 of GodH430 was on all the kingdomsH4467 of those countriesH776, when they had heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 against the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478.
So the realmH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 was quietH8252: for his GodH430 gave him restH5117 round aboutH5439.
And JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 over JudahH3063: he 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 the wayH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1, and departedH5493 not from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493: for as yet the peopleH5971 had not preparedH3559 their heartsH3824 unto the GodH430 of their fathersH1.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607, who is mentionedH5927 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. {book of Jehu: Heb. words, etc} {is mentioned: Heb. was made to ascend}
And afterH310 this did JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 joinH2266 himself with AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who didH6213 very wickedlyH7561:
And he joinedH2266 himself with him to makeH6213 shipsH591 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659: and they madeH6213 the shipsH591 in EziongeberH6100.
Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of DodavahH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 against JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, Because thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 hath brokenH6555 thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, that they were not ableH6113 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659.
It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, EnquireH1875, I pray thee, at the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to dayH3117.
And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 all JudahH3063. {himself: Heb. his face}
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, art not thou GodH430 in heavenH8064? and rulestH4910 not thou over all the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471? and in thine handH3027 is there not powerH3581 and mightH1369, so that none is able to withstandH3320 thee?
Art not thou our GodH430, who didst drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavestH5414 it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? {who: Heb. thou}
And they dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559,
If, when evilH7451 comethH935 upon us, as the swordH2719, judgmentH8196, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, we standH5975 beforeH6440 this houseH1004, and in thy presenceH6440, (for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004,) and cryH2199 unto thee in our afflictionH6869, then thou wilt hearH8085 and helpH3467.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
Behold, I say, how they rewardH1580 us, to comeH935 to cast us outH1644 of thy possessionH3425, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423.
O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
Thou in thy mercyH2617 hast led forthH5148 the peopleH5971 whichH2098 thou hast redeemedH1350: thou hast guidedH5095 them in thy strengthH5797 unto thy holyH6944 habitationH5116.
And it came to pass, when kingH4428 HezekiahH2396 heardH8085 it, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and coveredH3680 himself with sackclothH8242, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
AboveG1909 allG3956, takingG353 the shieldG2375 of faithG4102, wherewithG1722+G3739 ye shall be ableG1410 to quenchG4570 allG3956 the fieryG4448 dartsG956 of the wickedG4190.
And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294; for there they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068: therefore the nameH8034 of the same placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, unto this dayH3117. {Berachah: that is, blessing}
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
AndG2532 will beG2071+G1519 a FatherG3962 unto youG5213, andG2532 yeG5210 shall beG2071 myG3427 sonsG5207+G1519 andG2532 daughtersG2364, saithG3004 the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.
And afterH310 this did JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 joinH2266 himself with AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who didH6213 very wickedlyH7561:
And he joinedH2266 himself with him to makeH6213 shipsH591 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659: and they madeH6213 the shipsH591 in EziongeberH6100.
Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of DodavahH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 against JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, Because thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 hath brokenH6555 thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, that they were not ableH6113 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659.
And he wentH3212 and sentH7971 to JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, The kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath rebelledH6586 against me: wilt thou goH3212 with me against MoabH4124 to battleH4421? And he saidH559, I will go upH5927: I am as thou art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, and my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483.
And he saidH559, Which wayH1870 shall we go upH5927? And he answeredH559, The wayH1870 through the wildernessH4057 of EdomH123.
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
