down unto

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 the king of Israel said
unto his servants, Know
ye that Ramoth in
Gilead is
ours,

take
it not
out of the hand of the king of Syria?
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 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.

day.
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. '
Then
the king of Israel gathered
the prophets together
, about four hundred men, and said

the LORD shall
deliver
it into the hand of the king.
And Jehoshaphat saith
, `
Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah
besides, and
we seek
by
him? '
And Jehoshaphat said
, Is there not here a prophet of the
LORD
besides, that
we might
enquire
of
him?
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. '
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 calleth
unto
a
certain
eunuch
, and saith
, `
Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah. '

an
officer
, and said
, Hasten hither
Micaiah the
son of Imlah.

prophesying
before them.

for
himself
horns of iron ,

push the Aramaeans
till
they
are
consumed ;'
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 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 all the prophets prophesied

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 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 Micaiah saith
, `Jehovah
liveth ;
surely
that
which

saith unto me --
it
I speak. '

the
LORD
liveth ,
what
the
LORD
saith unto me ,
that
will
I speak.
And
he cometh
in
unto
the king ,

unto
him, `
Go up
, and prosper ,
and
Jehovah
hath
given
`
it '
into the hand of the king. '
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 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 the king said
unto him, How many times shall
I adjure
thee that thou tell
me nothing
but that
which
is
true

LORD
?
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 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 the king of Israel saith
unto Jehoshaphat, `Have
I not said
unto
thee ,
He doth
not
prophesy of
me
good, but evil? '
And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat, Did
I not tell
thee that
he would
prophesy no
good concerning
me
, but evil?
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 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 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 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 the
spirit goeth
out
, and standeth
before Jehovah
, and saith
, I --
I
do
entice
him;
and
Jehovah
saith
unto
him ,
By
what?
And there
came
forth
a
spirit, and stood
before the
LORD
, and said
, I will
persuade
him .
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.
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
now, lo
, Jehovah
hath put a spirit of
falsehood
in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah
hath spoken concerning thee --
evil
. '
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
Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth
nigh
, and smiteth
Micaiah on the cheek, and saith

`is'

hath
passed
over
--
the Spirit of Jehovah
--
from me to speak with
thee? '
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 Micaiah saith
, `Lo
, thou art
seeing
on
that day, when thou goest
in
to
the
innermost
chamber to be
hidden
. '
And Micaiah said
, Behold
, thou shalt
see
in
that day, when thou shalt
go
into
an
inner
chamber to hide
thyself
.
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 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 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 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 Micaiah saith
, `
If thou at all return
in peace --
Jehovah
hath not spoken by me ;'
and he saith
, `Hear
, O peoples
, all
of them
. '
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
the king of Israel goeth
up,
and Jehoshaphat king of Judah ,
to Ramoth-Gilead
.

.
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.
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 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
. '
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 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
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
that he
`is'
not the king of Israel, that they turn
back from after
him.
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 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 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 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 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 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
. '
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
the king dieth
, and cometh
into
Samaria ,
and they bury
the king in Samaria ;
So
the king died
, and was
brought
to
Samaria ;
and they buried
the king in Samaria .
and `
one '

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.

not turned
aside,
yet
are
the people sacrificing
and making
perfume
in high places.

in all the ways
of Asa his father ;
