7: So saidH0559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 Jehoshaphat,H3092 stillH5750 [There is] man,H0376 oneH0259 we may inquire ofH1875 -H0853 YahwehH3069 by whomH0853 but IH0589 hate himH8130 becauseH3588 notH0369 he prophesiesH5012 concerning meH5921 goodH2896 butH3588 alwaysH3605 -H3117 evil-H7451 He [is]H1931 MicaiahH4321 sonH1121 of Imlah.H3229 And said,H0559 JehoshaphatH3092 notH0408 let sayH0559 the kingH4428 such things.H3651

8: And calledH7121 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 toH0413 officers,H5631 one [of his]H0259 and said,H0559 bring quicklyH4116 MicaiahH4318 the sonH1121 of Imlah.H3229

9: And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH0376 onH5921 his throne,H3678 clothedH3847 in [their] robes,H0899 and they satH3427 at a threshing floorH1637 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of Samaria-H8111 and allH3605 the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 before them.H6440

10: 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 SyriaH0758 untilH5704 they are destroyed.H3615

11: And allH3605 the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so,H3651 saying,H0559 go upH5927 to Ramoth-gilead,H7433 to Ramoth GileadH1568 and prosper,H6743 for will deliver [it]H5414 YahwehH3068 into handH3027 of the king.H4428

12: And the messengerH4397 whoH0834 had goneH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spokeH1696 to himH0413 saying,H0559 now listen,H2009 the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 mouth-H6310 [with] oneH0259 encourageH2896 untoH0413 the kingH4428 therefore let beH1961 please,H4994 your wordH1697 like [the word of] oneH0259 of themH1992 and speakH1696 encouragement.H2896

13: And said,H0559 MicaiahH4321 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 evenH3588 -H0853 whateverH0834 says,H0559 my GodH0430 thatH0853 I will speak.H1696

14: And he cameH0935 toH0413 the king,H4428 and saidH0559 the kingH4428 to himH0413 Micah,H4318 shall we goH1980 againstH0413 Ramoth GileadH7433 GileadH1568 to war,H4421 orH0518 shall I refrain?H2308 and he said,H0559 go,H5927 and prosper,H6743 and they shall be deliveredH5414 into your hand.H3027

15: So saidH0559 to himH0413 the kingH4428 howH5704 how manyH4100 timesH6471 IH0589 shall make you swearH7650 thatH0834 nothingH3808 you tellH1696 meH0413 butH7535 the truthH0571 in the nameH8034 of Yahweh?H3068

16: and he said,H0559 I sawH7200 -H0853 allH3605 IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 onH5921 the mountains,H2022 as sheepH6629 thatH0834 have noH0369 shepherd-H7462 and said,H0559 YahwehH3068 have noH3808 master-H0113 theseH0428 let each returnH7725 -H0376 to his houseH1004 in peace.H7965

17: 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

18: 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 onH5921 His right handH3225 and His left.H8040

19: And said,H0559 YahwehH3068 whoH4310 will persuadeH6601 -H0853 AhabH0256 kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 and to go upH5927 that he may fallH5307 at Ramoth Gilead?H7433 GileadH1568 so spokeH0559 this [one]H2088 sayingH0559 in this manner,H3602 and this [one]H2088 spokeH0559 in that manner.H3602

20: And came forwardH3318 a spirit,H7307 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 and said,H0559 IH0589 will persuade himH6601 and saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to himH0413 in what [way]?H4100

21: so he said,H0559 I will go out,H3318 and beH1961 a spiritH7307 lyingH8267 in the mouthH6310 of allH3605 his prophets.H5030 And [Yahweh] said,H0559 You shall persuade [him]H6601 and alsoH1571 prevail-H3201 go out,H3318 and doH6213 so.H3651

22: ThereforeH6258 look,H2009 has putH5414 YahwehH3068 spiritH7307 a lyingH8267 in the mouthH6310 of prophets of yours,H5030 theseH0428 and YahwehH3068 has declaredH1696 against youH5921 disaster.H7451

23: And went near,H5066 ZedekiahH6667 sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 and struckH5221 -H0853 MicaiahH4321 onH5921 the cheek,H3895 and said,H0559 thatH0335 whichH2088 wayH1870 did goH5674 the spirit fromH7307 YahwehH3068 from meH0853 to speakH1696 to you.H0854

24: And said,H0559 MicaiahH4321 indeedH2005 you shall seeH7200 on dayH3117 thatH1931 whenH0834 you goH0935 into an innerH2315 into an inner chamberH2315 to hide.H2244

25: And 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

26: And say,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 the king,H4428 PutH7760 this [fellow]H2088 in the prisonH1004 in prison,H3608 and feed himH0398 with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and waterH4325 of affliction,H3906 untilH5704 I returnH7725 in peace.H7965

27: And said,H0559 MicaiahH4321 ifH0518 everH7725 you returnH7725 in peace,H7965 notH3808 has spokenH1696 YahwehH3068 and he said,H0559 take heed you,H8085 peopleH5971 all.H3605

28: So went upH5927 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 toH0413 Ramoth GileadH7433 Gilead.H1568

29: 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 they wentH0935 into battle.H4421

30: Now the kingH4428 of SyriaH0758 had commandedH6680 -H0853 the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 who [were]H0834 saying,H0559 no oneH3808 FightH3898 withH0854 smallH6996 orH0854 great,H1419 exceptH3588 butH0518 withH0854 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 only.H0905

31: So it was,H1961 when sawH7200 the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 -H0853 Jehoshaphat,H3092 that theyH1992 said,H0559 the kingH4428 of Israel.H3478 It [is]H1931 therefore they surroundedH5437 himH5921 to attack-H3898 but cried out,H2199 JehoshaphatH3092 and YahwehH3068 helped himH5826 and diverted themH5496 GodH0430 from him.H4480

32: For so it was,H1961 when sawH7200 the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393 thatH3588 notH3808 it wasH1961 the kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 that they turned backH7725 from pursuing him.H0310

33: 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

34: And increasedH5927 the battleH4421 day,H3117 thatH1931 and the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 held upH1961 propped [himself] upH5975 in [his] chariotH4818 facingH5227 SyriaH0758 untilH5704 evening-H6153 and he died.H4191 About the timeH6256 ofH0935 sunset.H8121
