22And three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.H3427H7969H8141H4421H758H3478 2And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.H7992H8141H3092H4428H3063H3381H4428H3478 3Now the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we are still doing nothing to take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"H4428H3478H559H5650H3045H7433H1568H2814H3947H3027H4428H758 4And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."H559H3092H3212H4421H7433H1568H3092H559H4428H3478H3644H5971H5971H5483H5483 5Moreover, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD."H3092H559H4428H3478H1875H1697H3068H3117 6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for the Lord will give [it] into the hand of the king."H4428H3478H6908H5030H6908H702H3967H376H559H3212H7433H1568H4421H2308H559H5927H136H5414H3027H4428 7But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of him?"H3092H559H5030H3068H5750H1875 8And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. [He is] Micaiah son of Imlah." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."H4428H3478H559H3092H259H376H4321H1121H3229H1875H3068H8130H5012H2896H7451H3092H559H4428H559 9Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah son of Imlah."H4428H3478H7121H259H5631H559H4116H4321H1121H3229 10Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in [their] robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.H4428H3478H3092H4428H3063H3427H376H3678H3847H899H1637H6607H8179H8111H5030H5012H6440 11Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are consumed.'"H6667H1121H3668H6213H7161H1270H559H559H3068H5055H758H3615 12And all the prophets were prophesying thus, saying, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will give [it] into the hand of the king."H5030H5012H559H5927H7433H1568H6743H3068H5414H4428H3027 13Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, "Behold now, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably."H4397H1980H7121H4321H1696H559H1697H5030H2896H4428H259H6310H1697H1697H259H1696H2896 14But Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak."H4321H559H3068H2416H3068H559H1696 15When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain?" And he answered him, " Go up and succeed, and the LORD will give [it] into the hand of the king. "H935H4428H4428H559H4321H3212H7433H1568H4421H2308H559H5927H6743H3068H5414H3027H4428 16Then the king said to him, "How many times must I adjure you to speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"H4428H559H6471H7650H1696H571H8034H3068 17So he said, "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no shepherd. And the LORD said, 'These have no master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'"H559H7200H3478H6327H2022H6629H7462H3068H559H113H7725H376H1004H7965 18Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"H4428H3478H559H3092H559H5012H2896H7451 19And Micaiah said, "Therefore, hear the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.H559H8085H1697H3068H7200H3068H3427H3678H6635H8064H5975H3225H8040 20"And the LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said this while another said that.H3068H559H6601H256H5927H5307H7433H1568H559H3541H559H3541 21"Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, ' I will entice him. 'H3318H7307H5975H6440H3068H559H6601 22"And the LORD said to him, 'How?' And he said, 'I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, ' You are to entice [him] and also prevail. Go and do so. 'H3068H559H559H3318H8267H7307H6310H5030H559H6601H3201H3318H6213 23"Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has proclaimed disaster against you."H3068H5414H8267H7307H6310H5030H3068H1696H7451 24Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the LORD pass from me to speak to you?"H6667H1121H3668H5066H5221H4321H3895H559H335H5674H7307H3068H1696 25And Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself."H4321H559H7200H3117H935H2315H2315H2247 26Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;H4428H3478H559H3947H4321H7725H526H8269H5892H3101H4428H1121 27and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this man in prison, and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely."' "H559H559H4428H7760H1004H3608H398H3899H3906H4325H3906H935H7965 28And Micaiah said, "If you indeed return safely the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Listen, all you people."H4321H559H7725H7725H7965H3068H1696H559H8085H5971 29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.H4428H3478H3092H4428H3063H5927H7433H1568 30And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.H4428H3478H559H3092H2664H935H4421H3847H899H4428H3478H2664H935H4421 31Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, "Do not fight with small or great, but with the king of Israel alone."H4428H758H6680H7970H8147H8269H7393H559H3898H6996H1419H4428H3478 32So it came about, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "Surely it is the king of Israel," and they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.H8269H7393H7200H3092H559H4428H3478H5493H3898H3092H2199 33Then it happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.H8269H7393H7200H4428H3478H7725H310 34Now a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel in a joint of the armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around, and take me out of the fight; for I am severely wounded."H376H4900H7198H8537H5221H4428H3478H1694H8302H559H7395H2015H3027H3318H4264H2470 35And the battle raged that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot in front of the Arameans, and died at evening, and the blood from the wound ran into the bottom of the chariot.H4421H5927H3117H4428H5975H4818H5227H758H4191H6153H1818H3332H4347H2436H7393 36Then a cry passed throughout the army close to sunset, saying, "Every man to his city and every man to his country."H5674H7440H4264H935H8121H559H376H5892H376H776 37So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.H4428H4191H935H8111H6912H4428H8111 38And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood (now the harlots bathed themselves [there]), according to the word of the LORD which He spoke.H7857H7393H1295H8111H3611H3952H1818H7364H2185H1697H3068H1696 39Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did and the ivory house which he built and all the cities which he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?H3499H1697H256H6213H8127H1004H1129H5892H1129H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3478 40So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.H256H7901H1H274H1121H4427 41Now Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.H3092H1121H609H4427H3063H702H8141H256H4428H3478 42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.H3092H7970H2568H8141H1121H4427H4427H6242H2568H8141H3389H517H8034H5806H1323H7977 43And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the LORD. However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.H3212H1870H609H1H5493H6213H3477H5869H3068H1116H5493H5971H2076H6999H1116 44Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.H3092H7999H4428H3478 45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he showed and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?H3499H1697H3092H1369H6213H3898H3789H5612H1697H3117H4428H3063 46And the remnant of the sodomites who remained in the days of his father Asa, he expelled from the land.H3499H6945H7604H3117H1H609H1197H776 47Now there was no king in Edom; a deputy was king.H4428H123H5324H4428 48Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.H3092H6213H6240H591H8659H3212H211H2091H1980H591H7665H6100 49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your servants in the ships." But Jehoshaphat was not willing.H559H274H1121H256H3092H5650H3212H5650H591H3092H14 50And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and Jehoram his son became king in his place.H3092H7901H1H6912H1H5892H1732H1H3088H1121H4427 51Ahaziah the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.H274H1121H256H4427H3478H8111H7651H6240H8141H3092H4428H3063H4427H8141H3478 52And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.H6213H7451H5869H3068H3212H1870H1H1870H517H1870H3379H1121H5028H3478H2398 53So he served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger according to all that his father had done.H5647H1168H7812H3707H3068H430H3478H1H6213
