Now Jehoshaphat 3092 had riches 6239 and honour 3519 in abundance, 7230 and joined affinity 2859-101 with Ahab. 256 |
| 2 |
And after 7093 [certain] years 8141 he went down 3381-4 to Ahab 256 to Samaria. 8111 And Ahab 256 killed 2076-4 sheep 6629 and oxen 1241 for him in abundance, 7230 and for the people 5971 that [he had] with him, and persuaded 5496-55 him to go up 5927-2 [with him] to Ramothgilead. 7433 1568 |
| 3 |
And Ahab 256 king 4428 of Israel 3478 said 559-4 unto Jehoshaphat 3092 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 Wilt thou go 3212-4 with me to Ramothgilead? 7433 1568 And he answered 559-4 him, I [am] as thou [art], and my people 5971 as thy people; 5971 and [we will be] with thee in the war. 4421 |
| 4 |
And Jehoshaphat 3092 said 559-4 unto the king 4428 of Israel, 3478 Enquire, 1875-3 I pray thee, at the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 to day. 3117 |
| 5 |
Therefore the king 4428 of Israel 3478 gathered together 6908-4 of prophets 5030 four 702 hundred 3967 men, 376 and said 559-4 unto them, Shall we go 3212-4 to Ramothgilead 7433 1568 to battle, 4421 or shall I forbear? 2308-4 And they said, 559-4 Go up; 5927-3 for God 430 will deliver 5414-4 [it] into the king's 4428 hand. 3027 |
| 6 |
But Jehoshaphat 3092 said, 559-4 [Is there] not here a prophet 5030 of the LORD 3068 besides, that we might enquire 1875-4 of him? |
| 7 |
And the king 4428 of Israel 3478 said 559-4 unto Jehoshaphat, 3092 [There is] yet one 259 man, 376 by whom we may enquire 1875-2 of the LORD: 3068 but I hate 8130-1 him; for he never prophesied 5012-102 good 2896 unto me, but always 3605 3117 evil: 7451 the same [is] Micaiah 4321 the son 1121 of Imla. 3229 And Jehoshaphat 3092 said, 559-4 Let not the king 4428 say 559-4 so. |
| 8 |
And the king 4428 of Israel 3478 called 7121-4 for one 259 [of his] officers, 5631 and said, 559-4 Fetch quickly 4116-16 Micaiah 4319 the son 1121 of Imla. 3229 |
| 9 |
And the king 4428 of Israel 3478 and Jehoshaphat 3092 king 4428 of Judah 3063 sat 3427-6 either of them 376 on his throne, 3678 clothed 3847-30 in [their] robes, 899 and they sat 3427-6 in a void place 1637 at the entering in 6607 of the gate 8179 of Samaria; 8111 and all the prophets 5030 prophesied 5012-102 before 6440 them. |
| 10 |
And Zedekiah 6667 the son 1121 of Chenaanah 3668 had made 6213-4 him horns 7161 of iron, 1270 and said, 559-4 Thus saith 559-1 the LORD, 3068 With these thou shalt push 5055-17 Syria 758 until they be consumed. 3615-15 |
| 11 |
And all the prophets 5030 prophesied 5012-12 so, saying, 559-2 Go up 5927-3 to Ramothgilead, 7433 1568 and prosper: 6743-54 for the LORD 3068 shall deliver 5414-1 [it] into the hand 3027 of the king. 4428 |
| 12 |
And the messenger 4397 that went 1980-1 to call 7121-2 Micaiah 4321 spake 1696-14 to him, saying, 559-2 Behold, the words 1697 of the prophets 5030 [declare] good 2896 to the king 4428 with one 259 assent; 6310 let thy word 1697 therefore, I pray thee, be like one 259 of theirs, and speak 1696-14 thou good. 2896 |
| 13 |
And Micaiah 4321 said, 559-4 [As] the LORD 3068 liveth, 2416 even what my God 430 saith, 559-4 that will I speak. 1696-17 |
| 14 |
And when he was come 935-4 to the king, 4428 the king 4428 said 559-4 unto him, Micaiah, 4318 shall we go 3212-4 to Ramothgilead 7433 1568 to battle, 4421 or shall I forbear? 2308-4 And he said, 559-4 Go ye up, 5927-3 and prosper, 6743-54 and they shall be delivered 5414-11 into your hand. 3027 |
| 15 |
And the king 4428 said 559-4 to him, How many times 6471 shall I adjure 7650-56 thee that thou say 1696-17 nothing but the truth 571 to me in the name 8034 of the LORD? 3068 |
| 16 |
Then he said, 559-4 I did see 7200-1 all Israel 3478 scattered 6327-12 upon the mountains, 2022 as sheep 6629 that have no shepherd: 7462-6 and the LORD 3068 said, 559-4 These have no master; 113 let them return 7725-4 [therefore] every man 376 to his house 1004 in peace. 7965 |
| 17 |
And the king 4428 of Israel 3478 said 559-4 to Jehoshaphat, 3092 Did I not tell 559-1 thee [that] he would not prophesy 5012-101 good 2896 unto me, but evil? 7451 |
| 18 |
Again he said, 559-4 Therefore hear 8085-3 the word 1697 of the LORD; 3068 I saw 7200-1 the LORD 3068 sitting 3427-6 upon his throne, 3678 and all the host 6635 of heaven 8064 standing 5975-6 on his right hand 3225 and [on] his left. 8040 |
| 19 |
And the LORD 3068 said, 559-4 Who shall entice 6601-17 Ahab 256 king 4428 of Israel, 3478 that he may go up 5927-4 and fall 5307-4 at Ramothgilead? 7433 1568 And one spake 559-4 saying 559-6 after this manner, 3602 and another saying 559-6 after that manner. 3602 |
| 20 |
Then there came out 3318-4 a spirit, 7307 and stood 5975-4 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and said, 559-4 I will entice 6601-17 him. And the LORD 3068 said 559-4 unto him, Wherewith? |
| 21 |
And he said, 559-4 I will go out, 3318-4 and be a lying 8267 spirit 7307 in the mouth 6310 of all his prophets. 5030 And [the LORD] said, 559-4 Thou shalt entice 6601-17 [him], and thou shalt also prevail: 3201-4 go out, 3318-3 and do 6213-3 [even] so. |
| 22 |
Now therefore, behold, the LORD 3068 hath put 5414-1 a lying 8267 spirit 7307 in the mouth 6310 of these thy prophets, 5030 and the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696-14 evil 7451 against thee. |
| 23 |
Then Zedekiah 6667 the son 1121 of Chenaanah 3668 came near, 5066-4 and smote 5221-55 Micaiah 4321 upon the cheek, 3895 and said, 559-4 Which 335 way 1870 went 5674-1 the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 from me to speak 1696-15 unto thee? |
| 24 |
And Micaiah 4321 said, 559-4 Behold, thou shalt see 7200-6 on that day 3117 when thou shalt go 935-4 into an inner 2315 chamber 2315 to hide 2244-9 thyself. |
| 25 |
Then the king 4428 of Israel 3478 said, 559-4 Take 3947-3 ye Micaiah, 4321 and carry him back 7725-54 to Amon 526 the governor 8269 of the city, 5892 and to Joash 3101 the king's 4428 son; 1121 |
| 26 |
And say, 559-1 Thus saith 559-1 the king, 4428 Put 7760-3 this [fellow] in the prison, 1004 3608 and feed 398-54 him with bread 3899 of affliction 3906 and with water 4325 of affliction, 3906 until I return 7725-2 in peace. 7965 |
| 27 |
And Micaiah 4321 said, 559-4 If thou certainly 7725-2 return 7725-4 in peace, 7965 [then] hath not the LORD 3068 spoken 1696-14 by me. And he said, 559-4 Hearken, 8085-3 all ye people. 5971 |
| 28 |
So the king 4428 of Israel 3478 and Jehoshaphat 3092 the king 4428 of Judah 3063 went up 5927-4 to Ramothgilead. 7433 1568 |
| 29 |
And the king 4428 of Israel 3478 said 559-4 unto Jehoshaphat, 3092 I will disguise 2664-99 myself, and will go 935-2 to the battle; 4421 but put thou on 3847-3 thy robes. 899 So the king 4428 of Israel 3478 disguised 2664-101 himself; and they went 935-4 to the battle. 4421 |
| 30 |
Now the king 4428 of Syria 758 had commanded 6680-14 the captains 8269 of the chariots 7393 that [were] with him, saying, 559-2 Fight 3898-11 ye not with small 6996 or great, 1419 save only with the king 4428 of Israel. 3478 |
| 31 |
And it came to pass, when the captains 8269 of the chariots 7393 saw 7200-2 Jehoshaphat, 3092 that they said, 559-1 It [is] the king 4428 of Israel. 3478 Therefore they compassed 5437-4 about him to fight: 3898-9 but Jehoshaphat 3092 cried out, 2199-4 and the LORD 3068 helped 5826-1 him; and God 430 moved 5496-55 them [to depart] from him. |
| 32 |
For it came to pass, that, when the captains 8269 of the chariots 7393 perceived 7200-2 that it was not the king 4428 of Israel, 3478 they turned back again 7725-4 from pursuing 310 him. |
| 33 |
And a [certain] man 376 drew 4900-1 a bow 7198 at a venture, 8537 and smote 5221-55 the king 4428 of Israel 3478 between the joints 1694 of the harness: 8302 therefore he said 559-4 to his chariot man, 7395 Turn 2015-3 thine hand, 3027 that thou mayest carry me out 3318-52 of the host; 4264 for I am wounded. 2470-90 |
| 34 |
And the battle 4421 increased 5927-4 that day: 3117 howbeit the king 4428 of Israel 3478 stayed 5975-56 [himself] up in [his] chariot 4818 against 5227 the Syrians 758 until the even: 6153 and about the time 6256 of the sun 8121 going down 935-2 he died. 4191-4 |
