Now Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² had riches⁶²³⁹ and honour³⁵¹⁹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and joined affinity²⁸⁵⁹ with Ahab.²⁵⁶

And after⁷⁰⁹³ certain years⁸¹⁴¹ he went down³³⁸¹ to Ahab²⁵⁶ to Samaria.⁸¹¹¹ And Ahab²⁵⁶ killed²⁰⁷⁶ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and oxen¹²⁴¹ for him in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that he had with him, and persuaded⁵⁴⁹⁶ him to go up⁵⁹²⁷ with him to Ramothgilead.⁷⁴³³

And Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Wilt thou go³²¹² with me to Ramothgilead?⁷⁴³³ And he answered⁵⁵⁹ him, I am as thou art, and my people⁵⁹⁷¹ as thy people;⁵⁹⁷¹ and we will be with thee in the war.⁴⁴²¹

And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Enquire,¹⁸⁷⁵ I pray thee, at the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ to day.³¹¹⁷

Therefore the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gathered together⁶⁹⁰⁸ of prophets⁵⁰³⁰ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men,³⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Shall we go³²¹² to Ramothgilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or shall I forbear?²³⁰⁸ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Go up;⁵⁹²⁷ for Elohim⁴³⁰ will deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the king's⁴⁴²⁸ hand.³⁰²⁷

But Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Is there not here a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ besides, that we might enquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of him?

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² There is yet one²⁵⁹ man,³⁷⁶ by whom we may enquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ but I hate⁸¹³⁰ him; for he never prophesied⁵⁰¹² good²⁸⁹⁶ unto me, but always³⁶⁰⁵ evil:⁷⁴⁵¹ the same is Micaiah⁴³²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imla.³²²⁹ And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Let not the king⁴⁴²⁸ say⁵⁵⁹ so.

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ called⁷¹²¹ for one²⁵⁹ of his officers,⁵⁶³¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Fetch quickly⁴¹¹⁶ Micaiah⁴³¹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imla.³²²⁹

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ sat³⁴²⁷ either of them³⁷⁶ on his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ clothed³⁸⁴⁷ in their robes,⁸⁹⁹ and they sat³⁴²⁷ in a void place¹⁶³⁷ at the entering in⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Samaria;⁸¹¹¹ and all the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them.

And Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ had made⁶²¹³ him horns⁷¹⁶¹ of iron,¹²⁷⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ With these thou shalt push⁵⁰⁵⁵ Syria⁷⁵⁸ until they be consumed.³⁶¹⁵

And all the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² so, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go up⁵⁹²⁷ to Ramothgilead,⁷⁴³³ and prosper:⁶⁷⁴³ for Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ shall deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king.⁴⁴²⁸

And the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ that went¹⁹⁸⁰ to call⁷¹²¹ Micaiah⁴³²¹ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ to him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ declare good²⁸⁹⁶ to the king⁴⁴²⁸ with one²⁵⁹ assent;⁶³¹⁰ let thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ therefore, I pray thee, be like one²⁵⁹ of theirs, and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ thou good.²⁸⁹⁶

And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ As Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ even what my Elohim⁴³⁰ saith,⁵⁵⁹ that will I speak.¹⁶⁹⁶

And when he was come⁹³⁵ to the king,⁴⁴²⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Micaiah,⁴³¹⁸ shall we go³²¹² to Ramothgilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or shall I forbear?²³⁰⁸ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go ye up,⁵⁹²⁷ and prosper,⁶⁷⁴³ and they shall be delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into your hand.³⁰²⁷

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to him, How many times⁶⁴⁷¹ shall I adjure⁷⁶⁵⁰ thee that thou say¹⁶⁹⁶ nothing but the truth⁵⁷¹ to me in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Yahweh?³⁰⁶⁸

Then he said,⁵⁵⁹ I did see⁷²⁰⁰ all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ scattered⁶³²⁷ upon the mountains,²⁰²² as sheep⁶⁶²⁹ that have no shepherd:⁷⁴⁶² and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ These have no master;¹¹³ let them return⁷⁷²⁵ therefore every man³⁷⁶ to his house¹⁰⁰⁴ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Did I not tell⁵⁵⁹ thee that he would not prophesy⁵⁰¹² good²⁸⁹⁶ unto me, but evil?⁷⁴⁵¹

Again he said,⁵⁵⁹ Therefore hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ I saw⁷²⁰⁰ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ sitting³⁴²⁷ upon his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and all the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ on his right hand³²²⁵ and on his left.⁸⁰⁴⁰

1 Kings 22:22

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Who shall entice⁶⁶⁰¹ Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he may go up⁵⁹²⁷ and fall⁵³⁰⁷ at Ramothgilead?⁷⁴³³ And one spake⁵⁵⁹ saying⁵⁵⁹ after this manner,³⁶⁰² and another saying⁵⁵⁹ after that manner.³⁶⁰²

Then there came out³³¹⁸ a spirit,⁷³⁰⁷ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I will entice⁶⁶⁰¹ him. And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Wherewith?

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will go out,³³¹⁸ and be a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of all his prophets.⁵⁰³⁰ And Yahweh said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt entice⁶⁶⁰¹ him, and thou shalt also prevail:³²⁰¹ go out,³³¹⁸ and do⁶²¹³ even so.

Now therefore, behold, Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ hath put⁵⁴¹⁴ a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of these thy prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against thee.

Then Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ came near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and smote⁵²²¹ Micaiah⁴³²¹ upon the cheek,³⁸⁹⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Which³³⁵ way¹⁸⁷⁰ went⁵⁶⁷⁴ the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ from me to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thee?

And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ on that day³¹¹⁷ when thou shalt go⁹³⁵ into an inner²³¹⁵ chamber²³¹⁵ to hide²²⁴⁴ thyself.

Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Take³⁹⁴⁷ ye Micaiah,⁴³²¹ and carry him back⁷⁷²⁵ to Amon⁵²⁶ the governor⁸²⁶⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and to Joash³¹⁰¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son;¹¹²¹

And say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Put⁷⁷⁶⁰ this fellow in the prison,¹⁰⁰⁴ and feed³⁹⁸ him with bread³⁸⁹⁹ of affliction³⁹⁰⁶ and with water⁴³²⁵ of affliction,³⁹⁰⁶ until I return⁷⁷²⁵ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ If thou certainly⁷⁷²⁵ return⁷⁷²⁵ in peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ then hath not Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ by me. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hearken,⁸⁰⁸⁵ all ye people.⁵⁹⁷¹

So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went up⁵⁹²⁷ to Ramothgilead.⁷⁴³³

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² I will disguise²⁶⁶⁴ myself, and will go⁹³⁵ to the battle;⁴⁴²¹ but put thou on³⁸⁴⁷ thy robes.⁸⁹⁹ So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ disguised²⁶⁶⁴ himself; and they went⁹³⁵ to the battle.⁴⁴²¹

Now the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ had commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ that were with him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Fight³⁸⁹⁸ ye not with small⁶⁹⁹⁶ or great,¹⁴¹⁹ save only with the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And it came to pass, when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² that they said,⁵⁵⁹ It is the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ Therefore they compassed⁵⁴³⁷ about him to fight:³⁸⁹⁸ but Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² cried out,²¹⁹⁹ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ helped⁵⁸²⁶ him; and Elohim⁴³⁰ moved⁵⁴⁹⁶ them to depart from him.

For it came to pass, that, when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ perceived⁷²⁰⁰ that it was not the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ they turned back again⁷⁷²⁵ from pursuing³¹⁰ him.

And a certain man³⁷⁶ drew⁴⁹⁰⁰ a bow⁷¹⁹⁸ at a venture,⁸⁵³⁷ and smote⁵²²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ between the joints¹⁶⁹⁴ of the harness:⁸³⁰² therefore he said⁵⁵⁹ to his chariot man,⁷³⁹⁵ Turn²⁰¹⁵ thine hand,³⁰²⁷ that thou mayest carry me out³³¹⁸ of the host;⁴²⁶⁴ for I am wounded.²⁴⁷⁰

And the battle⁴⁴²¹ increased⁵⁹²⁷ that day:³¹¹⁷ howbeit the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stayed⁵⁹⁷⁵ himself up in his chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ against⁵²²⁷ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ until the even:⁶¹⁵³ and about the time⁶²⁵⁶ of the sun⁸¹²¹ going down⁹³⁵ he died.⁴¹⁹¹
