Young's Literal Translation
Now
Jehoshaphat had
riches and honor
in abundance, and joined
affinity with
Ahab .
And
Jehoshaphat hath
riches and honour
in abundance, and joineth
affinity to
Ahab ,
And after
certain years he
went
down
to
Ahab to Samaria .
And Ahab killed
sheep and oxen for
him
in abundance, and for the people that
he
had
with him, and persuaded
him to go up with
him
to
Ramothgilead
.
and goeth
down
at
the
end
of
`
certain '
years unto
Ahab to Samaria ,
and Ahab sacrificeth
for
him
sheep and oxen in abundance, and for the people who
`are'
with him, and persuadeth
him to go up unto
Ramoth-Gilead
.
And Ahab king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt
thou go with me to Ramothgilead
? And he answered
him, I
am
as thou art
, and my
people
as thy people ;
and
we
will
be
with thee in the
war
.
And Ahab king of Israel saith
unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, `Dost
thou go with me `
to '
Ramoth-Gilead
? '
And he saith
to
him, `
As I
--
so
thou, and as thy people --
my
people,
even
with thee in battle
. '
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, this
day,
the word of Jehovah
. '
Therefore
the king of Israel gathered
together
of
prophets four hundred men, and said
unto them, Shall
we go to
Ramothgilead
to battle, or shall
I forbear? And they said
, Go up ;
for
God will
deliver
it into the king's
hand.
And
the king of Israel gathereth
the
prophets ,
four hundred men, and saith
unto them, `Do
we go unto
Ramoth-Gilead
to battle, or do
I forbear? '
And they say
, `
Go up ,
and
God doth
give
`
it '
into the hand of
the
king
. '
But
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
still
, and
we seek
from
him? '
And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat, There
is
yet
one man, by
whom
we
may
enquire
of
the
LORD:
but
I hate
him ;
for he never
prophesied
good
unto
me, but always
evil :
the
same
is Micaiah the
son of Imla.
And Jehoshaphat said
, Let not the king say so.
And the king of Israel saith
unto Jehoshaphat, `Still
--
one man to
seek
Jehovah
from
him
, and
I --
I
have
hated
him ,
for he is
not
prophesying
concerning
me of
good
, but all
his
days
of
evil ,
he
`
is '
Micaiah son of Imlah;'
and Jehoshaphat saith
, `
Let not the king say so. '
And the king of Israel called
for
one
of
his
officers
, and said
, Fetch
quickly
Micaiah the
son of Imla
.
And the king of Israel calleth
unto
a
certain
officer
, and saith
, `Hasten
Micaiah son of Imlah
. '
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat
either
of
them
on his throne, clothed in
their
robes
, and they sat
in a void
place
at the entering
in
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
, and they are
sitting
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 had
made
him
horns of iron, and said
, Thus saith
the
LORD
, With
these
thou
shalt
push
Syria
until
they
be
consumed.
And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh
for
himself
horns of iron, and saith
, `
Thus said
Jehovah
,
And all the prophets prophesied
so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead,
and prosper :
for
the
LORD
shall
deliver
it into the hand of the king.
With
these
thou
dost
push
Aram
till
thou
hast
consumed
them.'
And all the prophets are
prophesying
so, saying, `
Go up `
to '
Ramath-Gilead
and prosper ,
and
Jehovah
hath
given
`
it '
into the hand of the king. '
And the messenger that
went
to call Micaiah spake
to
him, saying, Behold
, the words of the prophets declare
good to
the king with
one
assent;
let thy
word
therefore
, I pray thee, be like one of theirs ,
and speak
thou good.
And the messenger who
hath
gone
to call for
Micaiah hath
spoken
unto
him, saying, `Lo
, the words of the prophets --
one
mouth
--
`are'
good towards
the king ,
and
let, I pray thee, thy
word
be like one of theirs :
and thou hast
spoken
good. '
And Micaiah said,
As
the
LORD
liveth, even
what
my God saith, that
will
I speak.
And Micaiah saith
`Jehovah
liveth, surely
that
which
my God saith, it
I speak. '
And when
he was
come
to
the king, the king said
unto him, Micaiah, shall
we go to
Ramothgilead
to battle, or shall
I forbear? And he said
, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall
be
delivered
into your hand.
And he cometh
in
unto
the king, and
the king saith
unto him, `
Micaiah, do
we go unto
Ramoth-Gilead
to battle, or do
I forbear? '
And he saith
, `
Go ye up, and prosper, and they are
given
into your hand. '
And the king said
to
him, How many times shall
I adjure
thee that thou say
nothing
but
the
truth
to
me in the name of the
LORD
?
And the king saith
unto
him, `
How many times am
I adjuring
thee ,
that thou speak
unto
me only
truth
in the name of Jehovah
? '
Then
he said
, I did
see
all Israel scattered upon
the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd :
and the
LORD
said
, These
have
no master;
let
them
return
therefore
every
man
to his house in peace.
And
he saith
, `
I have
seen
all Israel scattered on
the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd ,
and Jehovah
saith
, There
are
no masters
to these,
they
turn
back
each
to
his house in peace. '
And the king of Israel said
to
Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell
thee that
he would
not prophesy good
unto
me, but evil?
And the king of Israel saith
unto
Jehoshaphat, `
Did I not say
unto
thee ,
He doth
not prophesy concerning
me good
, but rather
of
evil? '
Again
he said
, Therefore hear the
word of the
LORD;
I saw
the
LORD
sitting upon
his throne, and all the host of heaven
standing on his right hand
and on
his left .
And
he saith
, `
Therefore ,
hear ye
a
word of Jehovah:
I have
seen
Jehovah
sitting on
His throne, and all the host of the
heavens
standing on His right and His left ;
And the
LORD
said
, Who shall
entice Ahab king of Israel, that
he may
go up and fall at
Ramothgilead
? And one
spake
saying
after
this manner
, and another
saying
after
that manner
.
and Jehovah
saith
, Who doth
entice Ahab king of Israel, and
he doth
go up and fall in
Ramoth-Gilead
? And this speaker
saith
thus
, and that speaker
thus
.
Then
there
came
out a
spirit, and stood
before the
LORD
, and said
, I will
entice him .
And the
LORD
said
unto him, Wherewith
?
And
go
out doth
the
spirit, and stand
before Jehovah
, and saith
, I do
entice him ;
and Jehovah
saith
unto him, With
what
?
And he said
, I will
go out, and be
a lying
spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the
Lord
said
, Thou shalt
entice him
, and thou
shalt
also prevail:
go out ,
and do even
so.
and he saith
, I go out, and have
become
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 these thy prophets, and the
LORD
hath spoken evil
against
thee.
And,
now, lo
, Jehovah
hath put a spirit of
falsehood
in the mouth of these thy prophets, and Jehovah
hath spoken concerning
thee --
evil
. '
Then
Zedekiah the
son of Chenaanah came
near
, and smote
Micaiah upon
the cheek, and said
, Which
way went
the Spirit of the
LORD
from me to speak unto
thee?
And
Zedekiah son of Chenaanah cometh
nigh
, and smiteth
Micaiah on
the cheek, and saith
, `Where
`is'
this
--
the
way the Spirit of Jehovah
passed
over
from me to speak with
thee? '
And Micaiah said
, Behold
, thou shalt
see on
that day when
thou shalt
go
into an
inner
chamber to hide
thyself
.
And Micaiah saith
, `Lo
, thou dost
see in
that day ,
that
thou dost
enter
into the
innermost
chamber to be
hidden
. '
Then
the king of Israel said
, Take ye Micaiah, and carry
him back to
Amon the
governor
of the city, and to
Joash the
king's
son ;
And
the king of Israel saith
, `
Take ye 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
return in peace.
and ye
have
said
, Thus said
the king, Put ye
this `one'
in the house
of
restraint
, and cause
him to
eat
bread of oppression,
and water of oppression
, till
my
return in peace. '
And Micaiah said
, If thou certainly return in peace, then
hath not the
LORD
spoken by me .
And he said
, Hearken
, all ye
people.
And Micaiah saith
, `
If thou dost
certainly return in peace, Jehovah
hath not spoken by me ;'
and he saith
, `Hear
ye
, 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 ,
unto
Ramoth-Gilead;
And the king of Israel said
unto Jehoshaphat ,
I
will
disguise myself
, and I
will
go
to the
battle ;
but
put
thou on thy robes
. So
the king of Israel disguised
himself ;
and they went
to
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 they go
into
battle.
Now
the king of Syria
had
commanded the captains
of the chariots
that
were
with
him
, saying, Fight
ye not with small or great, save
only
with the king of Israel.
And
the king of Aram
hath
commanded the heads
of the charioteers
whom
he
hath
, saying, `
Ye do
not fight
with small or with
great, except
with the king of Israel by
himself
. '
And it came
to pass ,
when
the captains
of the chariots
saw
Jehoshaphat, that they said, It
is
the king of Israel .
Therefore
they compassed
about
him to fight :
but
Jehoshaphat cried
out, and the
LORD
helped him ;
and God moved
them to
depart
from him .
And it cometh
to pass at
the heads
of the charioteers
seeing
Jehoshaphat, that they have
said, `
The king of Israel he
is,'
and
they turn
round
against
him to fight ,
and
Jehoshaphat crieth
out, and Jehovah
hath
helped him ,
and God enticeth
them from him ,
For
it came
to pass, that,
when
the captains
of the chariots
perceived
that it was
not the king of Israel ,
they turned
back again
from pursuing
him.
yea,
it cometh
to pass, at
the heads
of the charioteers
seeing
that it hath
not been
the king of Israel --
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:
therefore
he said
to his
chariot
man
, Turn thine
hand, that
thou mayest
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 the
charioteer
, `
Turn thy
hand, and
thou hast
brought
me out of the camp,
for I have
become
sick
. '
And the battle increased
that day :
howbeit
the king of Israel stayed himself
up in his
chariot against the
Syrians
until
the even:
and about
the time of the sun
going down
he
died
.
And the battle increaseth
on
that day ,
and
the king of Israel hath
been
stayed up in the
chariot over-
against Aram
till
the evening,
and he
dieth
at
the time of the going in
of
the
sun
.
