And Jehoshaphat{H3092} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Let not the king{H4428} say{H559}{(H8799)} so. 9 Then the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} called{H7121}{(H8799)} an{H259} officer{H5631}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Hasten{H4116}{(H8761)} hither Micaiah{H4321} the son{H1121} of Imlah{H3229}. 10 And the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} and Jehoshaphat{H3092} the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} sat{H3427}{(H8802)} each{H376} on his throne{H3678}, having put on{H3847}{(H8794)} their robes{H899}, in a void place{H1637} in the entrance{H6607} of the gate{H8179} of Samaria{H8111}; and all the prophets{H5030} prophesied{H5012}{(H8693)} before{H6440} them. 11 And Zedekiah{H6667} the son{H1121} of Chenaanah{H3668} made{H6213}{(H8799)} him horns{H7161} of iron{H1270}: and he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, With these shalt thou push{H5055}{(H8762)} the Syrians{H758}, until thou have consumed{H3615}{(H8763)} them. 12 And all the prophets{H5030} prophesied{H5012}{(H8737)} so, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Go up{H5927}{(H8798)} to Ramothgilead{H7433}{H1568}, and prosper{H6743}{(H8685)}: for the LORD{H3068} shall deliver{H5414}{(H8804)} it into the king's{H4428} hand{H3027}. 13 And the messenger{H4397} that was gone{H1980}{(H8804)} to call{H7121}{(H8800)} Micaiah{H4321} spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto him, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Behold now, the words{H1697} of the prophets{H5030} declare good{H2896} unto the king{H4428} with one{H259} mouth{H6310}: let thy word{H1697}, I pray thee, be like the word{H1697} of one{H259} of them, and speak{H1696}{(H8765)} that which is good{H2896}. 14 And Micaiah{H4321} said{H559}{(H8799)}, As the LORD{H3068} liveth{H2416}, what the LORD{H3068} saith{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, that will I speak{H1696}{(H8762)}. 15 So he came{H935}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428}.

And one said{H559}{(H8799)} on this manner{H3541}, and another said{H559}{(H8802)} on that manner{H3541}. 21 And there came forth{H3318}{(H8799)} a spirit{H7307}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, I will persuade{H6601}{(H8762)} him. 22 And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Wherewith? And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, I will go forth{H3318}{(H8799)}, and I will be a lying{H8267} spirit{H7307} in the mouth{H6310} of all his prophets{H5030}. And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thou shalt persuade{H6601}{(H8762)} him, and prevail{H3201}{(H8799)} also: go forth{H3318}{(H8798)}, and do{H6213}{(H8798)} so. 23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD{H3068} hath put{H5414}{(H8804)} a lying{H8267} spirit{H7307} in the mouth{H6310} of all these thy prophets{H5030}, and the LORD{H3068} hath spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} evil{H7451} concerning thee. 24 But Zedekiah{H6667} the son{H1121} of Chenaanah{H3668} went near{H5066}{(H8799)}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} Micaiah{H4321} on the cheek{H3895}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Which way{H335} went{H5674}{(H8804)} the Spirit{H7307} of the LORD{H3068} from me to speak{H1696}{(H8763)} unto thee? 25 And Micaiah{H4321} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Behold, thou shalt see{H7200}{(H8802)} in that day{H3117}, when thou shalt go{H935}{(H8799)} into an inner{H2315} chamber{H2315} to hide{H2247}{(H8736)} thyself. 26 And the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Take{H3947}{(H8798)} Micaiah{H4321}, and carry him back{H7725}{(H8685)} unto Amon{H526} the governor{H8269} of the city{H5892}, and to Joash{H3101} the king's{H4428} son{H1121}; 27 And say{H559}{(H8804)}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the king{H4428}, Put{H7760}{(H8798)} this fellow in the prison{H1004}{H3608}, and feed{H398}{(H8685)} him with bread{H3899} of affliction{H3906} and with water{H4325} of affliction{H3906}, until I come{H935}{(H8800)} in peace{H7965}. 28 And Micaiah{H4321} said{H559}{(H8799)}, If thou return{H7725}{(H8799)} at all{H7725}{(H8800)} in peace{H7965}, the LORD{H3068} hath not spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} by me. And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Hearken{H8085}{(H8798)}, O people{H5971}, every one of you. 29 So the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} and Jehoshaphat{H3092} the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} went up{H5927}{(H8799)} to Ramothgilead{H7433}{H1568}. 30 And the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Jehoshaphat{H3092}, I will disguise{H2664}{(H8692)} myself, and enter{H935}{(H8800)} into the battle{H4421}; but put thou on{H3847}{(H8798)} thy robes{H899}. And the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} disguised{H2664}{(H8691)} himself, and went{H935}{(H8799)} into the battle{H4421}. 31 But the king{H4428} of Syria{H758} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} his thirty{H7970} and two{H8147} captains{H8269} that had rule over his chariots{H7393}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Fight{H3898}{(H8735)} neither with small{H6996} nor great{H1419}, save only with the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478}. 32 And it came to pass, when the captains{H8269} of the chariots{H7393} saw{H7200}{(H8800)} Jehoshaphat{H3092}, that they said{H559}{(H8804)}, Surely it is the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478}. And they turned aside{H5493}{(H8799)} to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} against him: and Jehoshaphat{H3092} cried out{H2199}{(H8799)}. 33 And it came to pass, when the captains{H8269} of the chariots{H7393} perceived{H7200}{(H8800)} that it was not the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478}, that they turned back{H7725}{(H8799)} from pursuing{H310} him. 34 And a certain man{H376} drew{H4900}{(H8804)} a bow{H7198} at a venture{H8537}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} between the joints{H1694} of the harness{H8302}: wherefore he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the driver of his chariot{H7395}, Turn{H2015}{(H8798)} thine hand{H3027}, and carry me out{H3318}{(H8685)} of the host{H4264}; for I am wounded{H2470}{(H8717)}. 35 And the battle{H4421} increased{H5927}{(H8799)} that day{H3117}: and the king{H4428} was stayed up{H5975}{(H8716)} in his chariot{H4818} against{H5227} the Syrians{H758}, and died{H4191}{(H8799)} at even{H6153}: and the blood{H1818} ran out{H3332}{(H8799)} of the wound{H4347} into the midst{H2436} of the chariot{H7393}.
