2 Chronicles 18:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Jehoshaphat therefore had wealth and glory in abundance; but he became related to Ahab by marriage.
2 After some years he went down to Ahab at Samaria; Ahab offered numerous sheep and oxen for him and the people with him, and persuaded him to go up against Ramoth-gilead.
3 Ahab, king of Israel, asked Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, "Will you come with me to Ramoth-gilead?" "You and I are as one," was his answer; "your people and my people as well. We will be with you in the battle."
4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "Seek the word of the LORD at once."
5 The king of Israel gathered his prophets, four hundred in number, and asked them, "Shall we go to attack Ramoth-gilead, or shall I refrain?" "Go up," they answered. "God will deliver it over to the king."
6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no other prophet of the LORD here whom we may consult?"
7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still another through whom we may consult the LORD, but I hate him, for he prophesies not good but always evil about me. That is Micaiah, son of Imlah." Jeshoshaphat said, "Let not your Majesty speak of evil against you."
8 So the king of Israel called an official, to whom he said, "Get Micaiah, son of Imlah, at once."
9 The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah were seated each on his throne, clothed in their robes of state on a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, made iron horns for himself and said: "The LORD says, 'With these you shall gore Aram until you have destroyed them.'"
11 The other prophets prophesied in the same vein, saying: "Go up to Ramoth-gilead. You shall succeed; the LORD will deliver it over to the king."
12 The messenger who had gone to call Micaiah said to him: "Look now, the prophets unanimously predict good for the king. Let your word, like each of theirs, predict good."
13 "As the LORD lives," Micaiah answered, "I will say what my God tells me."
14 When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to fight against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I refrain?" "Go up," he answered, "and succeed; they will be delivered into your power."
15 But the king said to him, "How many times must I adjure you to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"
16 Then Micaiah answered: "I see all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD saying, 'These have no master!' Let each of them go back home in peace.'"
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he prophesies no good about me, but only evil?"
18 But Micaiah continued: "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD seated on his throne, with the whole host of heaven standing by to his right and to his left.
19 The LORD asked, 'Who will deceive Ahab, king of Israel, so that he will go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said this, another that,
20 until a spirit came forward and presented himself to the LORD, saying, 'I will deceive him.' The LORD asked, 'How?'
21 He answered, 'I will go forth and become a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.' The LORD agreed: 'You shall succeed in deceiving him. Go forth and do this.'
22 So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these your prophets, but the LORD himself has decreed evil against you."
23 Thereupon Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, came up and slapped Micaiah on the cheek, saying, "Which way did the spirit of the LORD go when he left me to speak to you?"
24 "You shall find out," Micaiah replied, "on that day when you enter an innermost chamber to hide."
25 The king of Israel then said: "Seize Micaiah and take him back to Amon, prefect of the city, and to Joash the king's son,
26 and say, 'This is the king's order: Put this man in prison and feed him scanty rations of bread and water until I return in safety!'"
27 But Micaiah said, "If ever you return in safety, the LORD has not spoken through me." And he said, "Hear, O peoples, all of you!"
28 The king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead
29 and the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will go into battle disguised, but you put on your own clothes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and they entered the fray.
30 Meanwhile, the king of Aram had given his chariot commanders the order, "Fight with no one, small or great, except the king of Israel."
31 When the commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they exclaimed, "That must be the king of Israel!" and shifted to fight him. But Jehoshaphat cried out and the LORD helped him; God induced them to leave him.
32 The chariot commanders became aware that he was not the king of Israel and gave up their pursuit of him.
33 Someone, however, drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the joints of his breastplate. He ordered his charioteer, "Rein about and take me out of the ranks, for I am disabled."
34 The battle grew fierce during the day, and the king of Israel braced himself up on his chariot facing the Arameans until evening. He died as the sun was setting.
1 Now Jehoshaphat H3092 had H1961 W-VQY3MS riches H6239 and honor H3519 in abundance H7230 LD-NMS , and joined affinity H2859 with Ahab H256 .
2 And after H7093 certain years H8141 NFP he went down H3381 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Ahab H256 to Samaria H8111 . And Ahab H256 killed H2076 sheep H6629 NMS and oxen H1241 W-NMS for him in abundance H7230 LD-NMS , and for the people H5971 that H834 RPRO he had with H5973 PREP-3MS him , and persuaded H5496 him to go up H5927 L-VQFC with him to H413 PREP Ramoth H7433 - gilead .
3 And Ahab H256 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jehoshaphat H3092 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , Wilt thou go H1980 with H5973 me to Ramoth H7433 - gilead ? And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS him , I H3644 am as thou H3644 art , and my people H5971 as thy people H5971 ; and we will be with H5973 thee in the war H4421 .
4 And Jehoshaphat H3092 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , Inquire H1875 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , at the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS today H3117 .
5 Therefore the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 gathered together H6908 of prophets H5030 four H702 MFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , Shall we go H1980 to H413 PREP Ramoth H7433 - gilead to battle H4421 , or H518 PART shall I forbear H2308 ? And they said H559 W-VQY3MS , Go up H5927 ; for God H430 D-EDP will deliver H5414 it into the king H4428 NMS \'s hand H3027 B-CFS .
6 But Jehoshaphat H3092 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is there not H369 here H6311 ADV a prophet H5030 of the LORD H3068 L-EDS besides H5750 ADV , that we might inquire H1875 of him H854 ?
7 And the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jehoshaphat H3092 , There is yet H5750 ADV one H259 MMS man H376 NMS , by whom H854 we may inquire H1875 of the LORD H3068 EDS : but I H589 W-PPRO-1MS hate H8130 him ; for H3588 CONJ he never H369 prophesied H5012 good H2896 unto H5921 PREP-1MS me , but H3588 CONJ always H3605 CMS evil H7451 : the same H1931 PPRO-3MS is Micaiah H4321 the son H1121 CMS of Imla H3229 . And Jehoshaphat H3092 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Let not H408 NPAR the king H4428 NMS say H559 W-VQY3MS so H3651 ADV .
8 And the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 called H7121 W-VQY3MS for H413 PREP one H259 MMS of his officers H5631 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Fetch quickly H4116 Micaiah H4319 the son H1121 CMS of Imla H3229 .
9 And the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 and Jehoshaphat H3092 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 sat H3427 either H376 NMS of them on H5921 PREP his throne H3678 , clothed H3847 in their robes H899 , and they sat H3427 in a void place H1637 at the entering in H6607 CMS of the gate H8179 NMS of Samaria H8111 ; and all H3605 W-CMS the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 before H6440 them .
10 And Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Chenaanah H3668 had made H6213 W-VQY3MS him horns H7161 of iron H1270 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , With these H428 thou shalt push H5055 Syria H758 EMS until H5704 PREP they be consumed H3615 .
11 And all H3605 W-CMS the prophets H5030 prophesied H5012 so H3651 ADV , saying H559 L-VQFC , Go up H5927 to Ramoth H7433 - gilead , and prosper H6743 : for the LORD H3068 EDS shall deliver H5414 W-VQQ3MS it into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the king H4428 .
12 And the messenger H4397 that H834 RPRO went H1980 VQQ3MS to call H7121 Micaiah H4321 spoke H1696 VPQ3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him , saying H559 L-VQFC , Behold H2009 IJEC , the words H1697 CMP of the prophets H5030 declare good H2896 AMS to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS with one H259 MMS assent H6310 NMS ; let thy word H1697 therefore , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , be H1961 like one H259 K-NMS of H4480 theirs , and speak H1696 thou good H2896 AMS .
13 And Micaiah H4321 said H559 W-VQY3MS , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , even H3588 CONJ what H834 RPRO my God H430 saith H559 W-VQY3MS , that will I speak H1696 VPY1MS .
14 And when he was come H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Micaiah H4318 , shall we go H1980 to H413 PREP Ramoth H7433 - gilead to battle H4421 , or H518 PART shall I forbear H2308 ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Go ye up H5927 , and prosper H6743 , and they shall be delivered H5414 into your hand H3027 .
15 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him , How many H5704 PREP times H6471 shall I H589 PPRO-1MS adjure H7650 thee that H834 RPRO thou say H1696 nothing H3808 ADV but H7535 ADV the truth H571 CFS to H413 PREP-1MS me in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ?
16 Then he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I did see H7200 VQQ1MS all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 scattered H6327 upon H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 , as sheep H6629 that H834 RPRO have no H369 NPAR shepherd H7462 VQPMS : and the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS , These H428 have no H3808 ADV master H113 ; let them return H7725 therefore every man H376 NMS to his house H1004 L-CMS-3MS in peace H7965 .
17 And the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Jehoshaphat H3092 , Did I not H3808 ADV tell H559 W-VQY3MS thee that he would not H3808 NADV prophesy H5012 good H2896 AMS unto H5921 PREP-1MS me , but H518 PART evil H7451 ?
18 Again he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Therefore H3651 L-ADV hear H8085 VQI2MP the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS ; I saw H7200 VQQ1MS the LORD H3068 EDS sitting H3427 VQPMS upon H5921 PREP his throne H3678 , and all H3605 W-CMS the host H6635 of heaven H8064 D-NMD standing H5975 on H5921 PREP his right hand H3225 CFS-3MS and on his left H8040 .
19 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Who H4310 IPRO shall entice H6601 Ahab H256 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , that he may go up H5927 and fall H5307 at Ramoth H7433 - gilead ? And one H2088 DPRO spoke H559 W-VQY3MS saying H559 W-VQY3MS after this manner H3602 ADV , and another H2088 W-PMS saying H559 W-VQY3MS after that manner H3602 .
20 Then there came out H3318 W-VQY3MS a spirit H7307 , and stood H5975 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H589 PPRO-1MS will entice H6601 him . And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Wherewith H4100 ?
21 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will go out H3318 VQY1MS , and be H1961 a lying H8267 NMS spirit H7307 L-CMS in the mouth H6310 B-CMS of all H3605 NMS his prophets H5030 . And the LORD said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thou shalt entice H6601 him , and thou shalt also H1571 W-CONJ prevail H3201 NMS : go out H3318 VQI2MS , and do H6213 even so H3651 ADV .
22 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , behold H2009 IJEC , the LORD H3068 EDS hath put H5414 VQQ3MS a lying H8267 NMS spirit H7307 NFS in the mouth H6310 B-CMS of these H428 PMP thy prophets H5030 , and the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS hath spoken H1696 VPQ3MS evil H7451 AFS against H5921 PREP-2MS thee .
23 Then Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Chenaanah H3668 came near H5066 , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS Micaiah H4321 upon H5921 PREP the cheek H3895 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Which H335 IPRO way H1870 D-NMS went H5674 VQQ3MS the Spirit H7307 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS from me to speak H1696 unto H854 thee ?
24 And Micaiah H4321 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 , thou shalt see H7200 VQPMS on that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS when H834 RPRO thou shalt go H935 VQY2MS into an inner chamber H2315 to hide thyself H2244 .
25 Then the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Take H3947 ye Micaiah H4321 , and carry him back H7725 to H413 PREP Amon H526 the governor H8269 of the city H5892 D-GFS , and to H413 PREP Joash H3101 the king H4428 NMS \'s son H1121 ;
26 And say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , Put H7760 this H2088 DPRO fellow in the prison H1004 CMS , and feed H398 him with bread H3899 NMS of affliction H3906 and with water H4325 W-NMD of affliction H3906 , until H5704 PREP I return H7725 in peace H7965 .
27 And Micaiah H4321 said H559 W-VQY3MS , If H518 PART thou certainly return H7725 in peace H7965 , then hath not H3808 NADV the LORD H3068 EDS spoken H1696 by me . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Hearken H8085 VQI2MP , all H3605 CMS-3MP ye people H5971 NMP .
28 So the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 and Jehoshaphat H3092 the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS to H413 PREP Ramoth H7433 - gilead .
29 And the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Jehoshaphat H3092 , I will disguise myself H2664 , and will go H935 to the battle H4421 ; but put thou on W-PPRO-2MS thy robes H899 CMP-2MS . So the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 disguised himself H2664 ; and they went H935 W-VQY3MP to the battle H4421 .
30 Now the king H4428 NMS of Syria H758 EMS had commanded H6680 VPQ3MS the captains H8269 CMP of the chariots H7393 that H834 RPRO were with him , saying H559 L-VQFC , Fight H3898 ye not H3808 NADV with H854 PREP small H6996 D-AMS or H854 PREP great H1419 D-AMS , save H518 PART only H905 with H854 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 .
31 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when the captains H8269 CMP of the chariots H7393 saw H7200 K-VQFC Jehoshaphat H3092 , that they H1992 said H559 , It H1931 PPRO-3MS is the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 . Therefore they compassed H5437 about H5921 PREP-3MS him to fight H3898 : but Jehoshaphat H3092 cried out H2199 , and the LORD H3068 W-EDS helped H5826 him ; and God H430 EDP moved H5496 them to depart from H4480 M-PREP-3MS him .
32 For it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that , when the captains H8269 CMP of the chariots H7393 perceived H7200 K-VQFC that H3588 CONJ it was H1961 VQQ3MS not H3808 NADV the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , they turned back again H7725 W-VUY3MP from pursuing H310 him .
33 And a certain man H376 W-NMS drew H4900 a bow H7198 at a venture H8537 , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 between H996 PREP the joints H1694 of the harness H8302 : therefore he said H559 W-VQY3MS to his chariot man H7395 , Turn H2015 thine hand H3027 , that thou mayest carry me out H3318 of H4480 PREP the host H4264 ; for H3588 CONJ I am wounded H2470 .
34 And the battle H4421 increased H5927 W-VHY2MS that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS : howbeit the king H4428 of Israel H3478 stayed himself up H1961 VQQ3MS in his chariot H4818 against H5227 the Syrians H758 EMS until H5704 PREP the even H6153 : and about the time H6256 L-CMS of the sun H8121 going down H935 VQFC he died H4191 W-VQY3MS .
