1: And passedH3427 threeH7969 yearsH8141 withoutH0369 warH4421 betweenH0996 SyriaH0758 andH0996 Israel.H3478
2: And it came to passH1961 in the year,H8141 thirdH7992 that went downH3381 JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 toH0413 [visit] the kingH4428 of Israel.H3478
3: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 his servants,H5650 do you knowH3045 thatH3588 Ramoth in Gilead [is]H7433 in GileadH1568 but weH0587 hesitate,H2814 to takeH3947 itH0853 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Syria?H0758
4: so he saidH0559 toH0413 Jehoshaphat,H3092 will you goH1980 with meH0854 to fightH4421 at Ramoth Gilead?H7433 GileadH1568 and saidH0559 JehoshaphatH3092 toH0413 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 I [am]H3644 as you [are]H3644 my peopleH5971 as your people,H5971 my horsesH5483 as your horses.H5483
5: And saidH0559 JehoshaphatH3092 toH0413 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 inquire,H1875 please,H4994 today.H3117 ForH0854 for the wordH1697 of Yahweh.H3068
6: And gathered togetherH6908 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 -H0853 the prophetsH5030 about fourH0702 hundredH3967 men,H0376 and saidH0559 to themH0413 shall I goH1980 againstH5921 Ramoth GileadH7433 GileadH1568 to fight,H4421 orH0518 shall I refrain?H2308 so they said,H0559 go up-H5927 and will deliver [it]H5414 for the LordH0136 into the handH3027 of the king.H4428
7: And said,H0559 JehoshaphatH3092 [is there] notH0369 hereH6311 a prophetH5030 of YahwehH3068 still,H5750 that we may inquireH1875 of Him.H0853
8: So saidH0559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 Jehoshaphat,H3092 [there is] stillH5750 man,H0376 oneH0259 we may inquireH1875 ofH0853 Yahweh,H3068 by whomH0853 but IH0589 hate himH8130 becauseH3588 notH3808 he does prophesyH5012 concerning meH5921 goodH2896 forH3588 butH0518 evil.H7451 MicaiahH4321 sonH1121 of Imlah,H3229 and said,H0559 JehoshaphatH3092 notH0408 let sayH0559 the kingH4428 such things.H3651
9: And calledH7121 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 officer,H5631 anH0259 and said,H0559 bring quicklyH4116 MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of Imlah.H3229
10: And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH0376 onH5921 his throne,H3678 having put onH3847 [their] robes,H0899 at a threshing floorH1637 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of Samaria-H8111 and allH3605 the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 before them.H6440
11: And had madeH6213 ZedekiahH6667 sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 hornsH7161 of iron-H1270 and he said,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 with theseH0428 you shall goreH5055 -H0853 Syria,H0758 untilH5704 they are destroyed.H3615
12: And allH3605 the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so,H3651 saying,H0559 go upH5927 to Ramoth Gilead,H7433 GileadH1568 and prosper,H6743 for will deliver [it]H5414 YahwehH3068 into handH3027 of the king.H4428
13: And the messengerH4397 whoH0834 had goneH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spokeH1696 to himH0413 saying,H0559 beholdH2009 now listen,H4994 the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 with accord-H6310 oneH0259 encourageH2896 untoH0413 the kingH4428 let beH1961 please,H4994 your word,H1697 like the wordH1697 of oneH0259 of themH1992 and speakH1696 encouragement.H2896
14: And said,H0559 MicaiahH4321 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 forH3588 -H0853 whateverH0834 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 to meH0413 thatH0853 I will speak.H1696
15: And he cameH0935 toH0413 the king.H4428 And saidH0559 the kingH4428 to himH0413 Micaiah,H4321 shall we goH1980 againstH0413 Ramoth GileadH7433 GileadH1568 to war,H4421 orH0518 shall we refrain?H2308 and he answeredH0559 himH0413 go,H5927 and prosper,H6743 for will deliver [it]H5414 YahwehH3068 into the handH3027 of the king.H4428
16: So saidH0559 to himH0413 the kingH4428 howH5704 howH4100 many timesH6471 IH0589 shall make you swearH7650 thatH0834 nothingH3808 you tellH1696 meH0413 butH7535 the truthH0571 in the nameH8034 of Yahweh?H3068
17: and he said,H0559 I sawH7200 -H0853 allH3605 IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 onH0413 the mountains,H2022 as sheepH6629 thatH0834 noH0369 haveH1992 shepherd.H7462 And said,H0559 YahwehH3068 noH3808 master.H0113 These haveH0428 let returnH7725 eachH0376 to his houseH1004 in peace.H7965
18: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 Jehoshaphat,H3092 did notH3808 I tellH0559 youH0413 notH3808 he would prophesyH5012 concerning meH5921 goodH2896 forH3588 butH0518 evil?H7451
19: and [Micaiah] said,H0559 thereforeH3651 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Yahweh.H3068 I sawH7200 -H0853 YahwehH3068 sittingH3427 onH5921 His throne,H3678 and allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 byH5921 on His right handH3225 and on His left.H8040
20: And said,H0559 YahwehH3068 whoH4310 will persuadeH6601 -H0853 Ahab,H0256 and to go upH5927 that he may fallH5307 at Ramoth Gilead?H7433 GileadH1568 so spokeH0559 this [one]H2088 in this manner,H3541 and this [one]H2088 spokeH0559 in that manner.H3541
21: And came forwardH3318 a spirit,H7307 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 and said,H0559 IH0589 will persuade himH6601 and saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to himH0413 how.H3964
22: So he saidH0559 I will go,H3318 and beH1961 a spiritH7307 lyingH8267 in the mouthH6310 of allH3605 his prophets'.H5030 And said,H0559 You shall persuade [him]H6601 and also-H1571 prevailH3201 go,H3318 and doH6213 so.H3651
23: ThereforeH6258 look,H2009 has putH5414 YahwehH3068 a spiritH7307 lyingH8267 in the mouthH6310 of allH3605 prophets of yours,H5030 theseH0428 and YahwehH3068 has declaredH1696 against youH5921 disaster.H7451
24: And went near,H5066 ZedekiahH6667 sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 and struckH5221 -H0853 MicaiahH4321 onH5921 the cheek,H3895 and said,H0559 whereH0335 [is] this [way that]H2088 went fromH5674 the spiritH7307 YahwehH3068 from meH0853 to speakH1696 to you.H0854
25: And said,H0559 MicaiahH4321 indeedH2005 you shall seeH7200 on day,H3117 thatH1931 whenH0834 you go intoH0935 a chamberH2315 innerH2315 to hide.H2247
26: So said,H0559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 takeH3947 -H0853 Micaiah,H4321 and return himH7725 toH0413 AmonH0526 the governorH8269 of the city,H5892 and toH0413 JoashH3101 son-H1121 of the king.H4428
27: And say,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 the king,H4428 PutH7760 -H0853 this [fellow]H2088 in the prisonH1004 in prison,H3608 and feed himH0398 with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and waterH4325 of affliction,H3906 untilH5704 I comeH0935 in peace.H7965
28: But said,H0559 MicaiahH4321 ifH0518 everH7725 you returnH7725 in peace,H7965 notH3808 has spokenH1696 YahwehH3068 and he said,H0559 take heed,H8085 people,H5971 all you.H3605
29: So went upH5927 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 to Ramoth GileadH7433 Gilead.H1568
30: And saidH0559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 Jehoshaphat,H3092 I will disguise myself,H2664 and goH0935 into battle-H4421 but youH0859 put onH3847 your robes.H0899 So disguised himself,H2664 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and wentH0935 into battle.H4421
31: Now the kingH4428 of SyriaH0758 had commandedH6680 -H0853 the captainsH8269 of his chariots,H7393 whichH0834 thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 saying,H0559 neitherH3808 FightH3898 withH0854 [no one] smallH6996 orH0853 great,H1419 exceptH3588 butH0518 withH0854 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 only.H0905
32: So it was,H1961 when sawH7200 the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 -H0853 Jehoshaphat,H3092 that theyH1992 said,H0559 surelyH0389 the kingH4428 of Israel.H3478 It [is]H1931 therefore they turned asideH5493 against himH5921 to fightH3898 and cried outH2199 Jehoshaphat.H3092
33: And it came to pass,H1961 when sawH7200 the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 thatH3588 notH3808 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 it [was]H1931 that they turned backH7725 from pursuing him.H0310
34: And a [certain] manH0376 drewH4900 a bowH7198 at random,H8537 and struckH5221 -H0853 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 betweenH0996 the jointsH1694 andH0996 of [his] armor.H8302 So he saidH0559 to the driver of his chariot,H7395 Turn aroundH2015 -,H3027 and take me outH3318 ofH4480 the battle-H4264 forH3588 I am wounded.H2470
35: And increasedH5927 the battleH4421 day,H3117 thatH1931 and the kingH4428 wasH1961 propped upH5975 in his chariotH4818 facingH5227 Syria,H0758 and diedH4191 at evening,H6153 and ran outH3332 the blood fromH1818 the woundH4347 ontoH0413 the floorH2436 of the chariot.H7393
36: And wentH5674 a shoutH7440 throughout the armyH4264 as was going downH0935 the sun,H8121 saying,H0559 every manH0376 toH0413 his city,H5892 and every manH0376 toH0413 his own country.H0776
37: So died,H4191 the kingH4428 and was broughtH0935 to Samaria-H8111 and they buriedH6912 -H0853 the kingH4428 in Samaria.H8111
38: And [someone] washedH7857 -H0853 the chariotH7393 atH5921 a pool inH1295 Samaria-H8111 and licked upH3952 the dogsH3611 -H0853 his blood-H1818 and while the harlots-H2185 bathedH7364 according to the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 whichH0834 He had spoken.H1696
39: And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Ahab,H0256 and allH3605 thatH0834 he did,H6213 and houseH1004 the ivoryH8127 whichH0834 he built,H1129 and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thatH0834 he built,H1129 [are] notH3808 theyH1992 writtenH3789 inH5921 the bookH5612 ofH1697 the chroniclesH3117 of the kingsH4428 of Israel?H3478
40: so restedH7901 AhabH0256 withH5973 his fathers-H0001 and reignedH4427 AhaziahH0274 his sonH1121 in his place.H8478
41: JehoshaphatH3092 sonH1121 of AsaH0609 had become kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 in the yearH8141 fourH0702 of AhabH0256 kingH4428 of Israel.H3478
42: JehoshaphatH3092 oldH1121 thirtyH7970 and [was] fiveH2568 yearsH8141 when he became king-H4427 and twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 he reignedH4427 in Jerusalem.H3389 And name [was]H8034 of His motherH0517 AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of Shilhi.H7977
43: And he walkedH1980 in allH3605 the waysH1870 of AsaH0609 his father-H0001 notH3808 He did turn asideH5493 from themH4480 doingH6213 [what was] rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Yahweh.H3068 NeverthelessH0389 the high placesH1116 notH3808 were taken away-H5493 [for]H5750 the peopleH5971 offered sacrificesH2076 and burned incenseH6999 on the high places.H1116
44: And made peaceH7999 JehoshaphatH3092 withH5973 the kingsH4428 of Israel.H3478
45: And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Jehoshaphat,H3092 and the mightH1369 thatH0834 he showed,H6213 and howH0834 he made war,H3898 [are] notH3808 theyH1992 writtenH3789 inH5921 the bookH5612 ofH1697 the chroniclesH3117 of the kingsH4428 of Judah?H3063
46: and the restH3499 of the perverted persons,H6945 whoH0834 remainedH7604 in the daysH3117 of Asa,H0609 his fatherH0001 he banishedH1197 fromH4480 the land.H0776
47: And [There was] then kingH4428 noH0369 in Edom-H0123 [only] a deputyH5324 of the king.H4428
48: JehoshaphatH3092 madeH6240 shipsH0591 of TarshishH8659 to goH1980 to OphirH0211 for gold,H2091 but never-H3808 they sailedH1980 forH3588 were wreckedH7665 the shipsH0591 Ezion Geber.H6100
49: ThenH0227 saidH0559 AhaziahH0274 sonH1121 of AhabH0256 toH0413 Jehoshaphat,H3092 let goH1980 my servantsH5650 withH5973 your servantsH5650 in the ships.H0591 But notH3808 wouldH0014 Jehoshaphat.H3092
50: And restedH7901 JehoshaphatH3092 withH5973 his fathers,H0001 and was buriedH6912 withH5973 his fathersH0001 in the CityH5892 of DavidH1732 his father-H0001 and reignedH4427 JoramH3088 his sonH1121 in his place.H8478
51: AhaziahH0274 sonH1121 of AhabH0256 became kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 in the yearH8141 sevenH7651 [and] tenH6240 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 and reignedH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 two years.H8141
52: And He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh,H3068 and walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of his father,H0001 and in the wayH1870 of mother,H0517 and in the wayH1870 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of Nebat,H5028 whoH0834 had made sinH2398 -H0853 Israel.H3478
53: For he servedH5647 -H0853 Baal,H1168 and worshipedH7812 and provoked to angerH3707 -H0853 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 according to allH3605 thatH0834 had doneH6213 his father.H0001
