killed

go

Jehoshaphat

prophet
of the
LORD
besides, that we might
enquire
of him?

unto
Jehoshaphat

one
man

enquire

LORD
: but I
hate
him; for he never
prophesied
good
unto me, but
always
evil
: the same is
Micaiah
the
son

Jehoshaphat
said

king
say
so.

prevail

out

@ Now therefore, behold, the
LORD
hath
put
a
lying
spirit
in the

hath
spoken
evil
against thee.

ye not with
small

about

fight
: but
Jehoshaphat
cried
out

helped
him; and
God
moved
them to depart from him.

@ And a certain man
drew
a
bow
at a

harness

man

Turn
thine
hand

out

wounded

even

going
down
