Young's Literal Translation
And they continued
three years without
war between Syria
and Israel .
And they sit
still
three years ,
there
is
no
war between Aram
and Israel ,
And it came
to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the
king of Judah came
down to
the king of Israel .
and it cometh
to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah cometh
down unto
the king of Israel ,
And the king of Israel said
unto his servants, Know
ye that Ramoth in
Gilead is
ours,
and we be
still,
and
take
it not
out of the hand of the king of Syria?
and the king of Israel saith
unto his servants, `Have
ye not
known
that ours
`is'
Ramoth -
Gilead ?
and we are
keeping
silent
from
taking
it out of the hand of the king of Aram!'
And he said
unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt
thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead
? And Jehoshaphat said
to
the king of Israel, I am as
thou
art
, my people as
thy people ,
my horses as
thy horses.
And he saith
unto Jehoshaphat, `Dost
thou go with me to battle `
to '
Ramoth-Gilead
? '
and Jehoshaphat saith
unto
the king of Israel, `As
I am, so
thou;
as
my people ,
so
thy people ;
as
my horses ,
so
thy horses. '
And Jehoshaphat said
unto the king of Israel, Enquire
, I pray thee, at
the word of the
LORD
to
day.
And Jehoshaphat saith
unto the king of Israel, `Seek
, I pray thee, to-day,
the word of Jehovah;'
Then
the king of Israel gathered
the prophets together
, about four hundred men, and said
unto them, Shall
I go against Ramothgilead
to battle, or shall
I forbear? And they said
, Go up ;
for
the LORD shall
deliver
it into the hand of the king.
and
the king of Israel gathereth
the prophets, about four hundred men, and saith
unto them, `Do
I go against Ramoth-Gilead
to battle, or do
I forbear? '
and they say
, `
Go up ,
and
the Lord doth
give
`
it '
into the hand of the king. '
And Jehoshaphat said
, Is there not here a prophet of the
LORD
besides, that
we might
enquire
of
him?
And Jehoshaphat saith
, `
Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah
besides, and
we seek
by
him? '
And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat, There
is
yet one man ,
Micaiah
the
son
of
Imlah,
by whom
we
may
enquire
of
the
LORD:
but
I hate
him ;
for he doth not prophesy good
concerning me, but evil .
And Jehoshaphat said
, Let not the king say so.
And the king of Israel saith
unto Jehoshaphat, `
Yet --
one man to
seek
Jehovah
by him,
and
I have
hated
him ,
for he doth not prophesy concerning me good
, but evil --
Micaiah
son
of
Imlah;'
and Jehoshaphat saith
, `
Let not the king say so. '
Then
the king of Israel called
an
officer
, and said
, Hasten hither
Micaiah the
son of Imlah.
And
the king of Israel calleth
unto
a
certain
eunuch
, and saith
, `
Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah. '
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the
king of Judah sat
each on his throne, having
put
on
their
robes
, in a void
place
in
the entrance
of the gate of Samaria ;
and all the prophets prophesied
before them.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are
sitting,
each on his throne, clothed
with
garments
, in a threshing-floor,
at
the opening
of the gate of Samaria ,
and all the prophets are
prophesying
before them.
And Zedekiah the
son of Chenaanah made
him
horns of iron :
and he
said
, Thus saith
the
LORD
, With
these shalt
thou push the Syrians,
until
thou
have
consumed them.
And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh
for
himself
horns of iron ,
and saith
, `
Thus said
Jehovah
, By
these thou dost
push the Aramaeans
till
they
are
consumed ;'
And all the prophets prophesied
so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead
, and prosper :
for
the
LORD
shall
deliver
it into the king's
hand.
and all the prophets are
prophesying
so, saying, `
Go up to Ramoth-Gilead
, and prosper ,
and
Jehovah
hath
given
`
it '
into the hand of
the
king
. '
And the messenger that
was
gone to call Micaiah spake
unto him, saying, Behold
now
, the words of the prophets declare
good
unto
the
king
with one mouth :
let thy
word
, I pray thee, be
like
the word of one of them ,
and speak
that
which
is
good.
And the messenger who
hath
gone to call Micaiah hath
spoken
unto him, saying, `Lo
, I
pray
thee,
the words of the prophets ,
with one mouth ,
`are'
good
towards
the
king;
let it
be
, I pray thee, thy
word
as
the word of one of them --
and thou
hast
spoken
good. '
And Micaiah said
, As
the
LORD
liveth ,
what
the
LORD
saith unto me ,
that
will
I speak.
And Micaiah saith
, `Jehovah
liveth ;
surely
that
which
Jehovah
saith unto me --
it
I speak. '
So
he came
to
the king .
And the king said
unto him, Micaiah, shall
we go against
Ramothgilead
to battle, or shall
we forbear? And he answered
him, Go, and prosper :
for
the
LORD
shall
deliver
it into the hand of the king.
And
he cometh
in
unto
the king ,
and the king saith
unto him, `
Micaiah, do
we go unto
Ramoth-Gilead,
to battle, or do
we forbear? '
and he saith
unto
him, `
Go up
, and prosper ,
and
Jehovah
hath
given
`
it '
into the hand of the king. '
And the king said
unto him, How many times shall
I adjure
thee that thou tell
me
nothing but that
which
is
true
in the name of the
LORD
?
And the king saith
unto him, `
How many times am
I adjuring
thee that thou speak
nothing unto
me
but truth
in the name of Jehovah
? '
And he said
, I saw
all Israel scattered upon
the hills ,
as sheep that have not
a
shepherd :
and the
LORD
said
, These have no master :
let
them
return
every
man
to his house in peace.
And he saith
, `
I have
seen
all Israel scattered on
the hills as sheep that have no
shepherd ,
and Jehovah
saith
, These have no master ;
they
turn
back
each
to his house in peace. '
And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat, Did
I not tell
thee that
he would
prophesy no
good
concerning
me, but evil?
And the king of Israel saith
unto Jehoshaphat, `Have
I not said
unto
thee ,
He doth
not
prophesy of
me good
, but evil? '
And he said
, Hear
thou
therefore 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 hand
and on his left .
And he saith
, `
Therefore ,
hear
a
word of Jehovah;
I have
seen
Jehovah
sitting on His throne, and all the host of the
heavens
standing by Him ,
on His right and on His left ;
And the
LORD
said
, Who shall
persuade
Ahab, that
he may
go up and fall at
Ramothgilead
? And one
said
on
this manner
, and another
said
on
that manner
.
and Jehovah
saith
, Who doth
entice
Ahab, and
he doth
go up and fall in
Ramoth-Gilead
? and this one
saith
thus
, and that one
is
saying
thus
.
And there
came
forth
a
spirit, and stood
before the
LORD
, and said
, I will
persuade
him .
`
And the
spirit goeth
out
, and standeth
before Jehovah
, and saith
, I --
I
do
entice
him ;
and
Jehovah
saith
unto
him,
By
what?
And the
LORD
said
unto
him,
Wherewith?
And
he said
, I will
go forth
, and I
will
be
a lying
spirit in the mouth of all his prophets .
And he said
, Thou shalt
persuade
him
, and prevail
also :
go forth,
and do so.
and he saith
, I go out
, and have
been
a spirit of
falsehood
in the mouth of all his prophets ;
and He saith
, Thou dost
entice
, and also thou
art
able;
go out
and do so.
Now therefore
, behold
, the
LORD
hath put a lying
spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the
LORD
hath spoken evil
concerning thee.
And
now, lo
, Jehovah
hath put a spirit of
falsehood
in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah
hath spoken concerning thee --
evil
. '
But
Zedekiah the
son of Chenaanah went
near
, and smote
Micaiah on the cheek, and said
, Which
way
went
the Spirit of the
LORD
from me to speak unto
thee?
And
Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth
nigh
, and smiteth
Micaiah on the cheek, and saith
, `Where
`is'
this
--
he
hath
passed
over
--
the Spirit of Jehovah
--
from me to speak with
thee? '
And Micaiah said
, Behold
, thou shalt
see
in
that day, when thou shalt
go
into
an
inner
chamber to hide
thyself
.
And Micaiah saith
, `Lo
, thou art
seeing
on
that day, when thou goest
in
to
the
innermost
chamber to be
hidden
. '
And the king of Israel said
, Take Micaiah, and carry
him back unto Amon the
governor
of the city, and to
Joash the
king's
son ;
And the king of Israel saith
, `
Take Micaiah, and turn
him back unto Amon head
of the city, and unto
Joash son of
the
king,
And say
, Thus saith
the king, Put
this fellow
in the prison
, and feed
him with
bread of affliction
and with
water of affliction
, until
I
come
in peace.
and thou
hast
said
, Thus said
the king, Place
ye
this one
in the house
of
restraint
, and cause
him to
eat
bread of oppression,
and water of oppression
, till
my
coming
in peace. '
And Micaiah said
, If thou return
at all in peace ,
the
LORD
hath not spoken by me .
And he said
, Hearken
, O people
, every
one
of you
.
And Micaiah saith
, `
If thou at all return
in peace --
Jehovah
hath not spoken by me ;'
and he saith
, `Hear
, O peoples
, all
of them
. '
So
the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the
king of Judah went
up
to Ramothgilead
.
And
the king of Israel goeth
up,
and Jehoshaphat king of Judah ,
to Ramoth-Gilead
.
And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat ,
I
will
disguise myself
, and enter
into the
battle ;
but
put
thou on thy robes
. And the king of Israel disguised
himself, and went
into the
battle.
And the king of Israel saith
unto Jehoshaphat to
disguise himself
, and to
go
into battle ,
`And
thou ,
put
on thy garments
. '
And the king of Israel disguiseth
himself, and goeth
into battle.
But
the king of Syria
commanded his
thirty and two captains
that
had
rule
over
his
chariots,
saying, Fight neither
with small nor
great, save
only
with the king of Israel.
And
the king of Aram
commanded the
heads
of
the
charioteers
whom
he
hath
--
thirty and two --
saying, `Ye
do
not
fight with small or
with
great, but
with the king of Israel by
himself
. '
And it came
to pass, 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 .
And it cometh
to pass, at
the heads
of the charioteers
seeing
Jehoshaphat, that they said, `He
`
is '
only
the king of Israel ;'
and they turn
aside to him to
fight,
and Jehoshaphat crieth
out ,
And it came
to pass, when
the captains
of the chariots
perceived
that it
was
not the king of Israel, that they turned
back from pursuing
him.
and it cometh
to pass, at
the heads
of the charioteers
seeing
that he
`is'
not the king of Israel, that they turn
back from after
him.
And a certain
man drew
a bow at
a
venture
, and smote
the king of Israel between the joints
of
the
harness:
wherefore
he
said
unto
the driver
of his chariot
, Turn thine
hand, and carry
me out of
the host;
for I am
wounded
.
And a man hath
drawn
with
a bow, in
his
simplicity,
and smiteth
the king of Israel between the joinings
and
the coat
of mail,
and
he
saith
to
his charioteer
, `
Turn thy
hand, and take
me out from
the camp,
for I have
become
sick
. '
And the battle increased
that day :
and the king was
stayed
up
in his
chariot against the
Syrians
, and died
at
even:
and the blood ran
out
of the wound into
the midst of the chariot .
And the battle increaseth
on
that day ,
and the king hath
been
caused
to
stand
in the
chariot ,
over-
against Aram
, and he
dieth
in
the
evening,
and the blood of the wound runneth
out
unto
the midst of the chariot ,
And there
went
a
proclamation
throughout
the host
about
the going down
of the sun, saying, Every
man
to
his city, and every
man
to
his own
country
.
and he
causeth
the cry
to
pass
over
through
the camp,
at
the
going in
of the sun, saying, `Each
unto
his city, and each
unto
his land
. '
So
the king died
, and was
brought
to
Samaria ;
and they buried
the king in Samaria .
And
the king dieth
, and cometh
into
Samaria ,
and they bury
the king in Samaria ;
And one washed
the chariot in
the pool of Samaria ;
and the dogs licked
up
his blood ;
and
they washed his
armor;
according unto
the word of the
LORD
which
he spake.
and `
one '
rinseth
the chariot by
the pool of Samaria ,
and the dogs lick
his blood --
when
the
armour
they had
washed --
according to
the word of Jehovah
that
He spake.
Now
the rest of the acts
of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory
house which
he made
, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
And
the rest of the matters
of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of
ivory
that
he built
, and all the cities that he built, are they not written on
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
So
Ahab slept
with his fathers ;
and Ahaziah his son reigned
in his stead.
And
Ahab lieth
with his fathers ,
and Ahaziah his son reigneth
in his stead.
And Jehoshaphat the
son of Asa began
to
reign
over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel .
And Jehoshaphat son of Asa hath
reigned
over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel ,

thirty and five years old
when
he
began
to
reign;
and he
reigned
twenty and five years in Jerusalem .
And his
mother's
name was
Azubah the
daughter of Shilhi.
Jehoshaphat `is'
a
son
of
thirty and five years in
his
reigning,
and twenty and five years he
hath
reigned
in Jerusalem ,
and the
name of
his
mother
`is'
Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
And he walked
in all the ways
of Asa his father ;
he turned
not aside from it, doing
that which was
right in the eyes of the
LORD:
nevertheless
the high places were
not taken
away;
for
the people offered
and burnt
incense
yet
in the
high places.
And he walketh
in all the way
of Asa his father ,
he hath
not turned
aside from it, to
do
that which `is'
right in the eyes of Jehovah;
only
the high places have
not turned
aside,
yet
are
the people sacrificing
and making
perfume
in high places.
And Jehoshaphat made
peace with the king of Israel .
And Jehoshaphat maketh
peace with the king of Israel ;
Now
the rest of the acts
of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed
, and how
he warred
, are they not written in
the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
and
the rest of the matters
of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he got
, and with
which
he fought
, are they not written on
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And the remnant of the sodomites,
which
remained
in the days of his father Asa,
he took out of the land .
And the remnant of the whoremongers
who
were
left
in the days of Asa
his father he took away
out of the land ;
There was
then
no king in Edom :
a deputy
was
king.
and
there is
no king in Edom ;
he
set
up
a king.
Jehoshaphat made ships of
Tharshish
to go to Ophir for gold :
but
they went not ;
for the ships were broken at
Eziongeber
.
Jehoshaphat made ships at
Tarshish
to go to Ophir for gold ,
and
they went not ,
for the ships were broken in
Ezion-Geber
.
Then said Ahaziah the
son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships .
But
Jehoshaphat would
not.
Then said Ahaziah son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, `
Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships ;'
and
Jehoshaphat was
not willing
.
And Jehoshaphat slept
with his fathers, and was
buried with his fathers in the city of David his father :
and Jehoram his son reigned
in his stead.
And Jehoshaphat lieth
with his fathers, and is
buried with his fathers in the city of David his father ,
and Jehoram his son reigneth

two
years
over Israel .

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 made
Israel to sin :
and doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, and walketh
in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused
Israel to sin ,
For
he
served
Baal, and worshipped
him
, and provoked
to
anger
the
LORD
God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
and
serveth
the
Baal, and boweth
himself
to
it
, and provoketh
Jehovah,
God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
