1Kings:22:1-28




updv@1Kings:22:1 @ And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

updv@1Kings:22:2 @ And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

updv@1Kings:22:3 @ And the king of Israel said to his slaves, Do you(note:){+}(:note) know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, and we are still, and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?

updv@1Kings:22:4 @ And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

updv@1Kings:22:5 @ And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray you, for the word of Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:22:6 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.

updv@1Kings:22:7 @ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?

updv@1Kings:22:8 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Don't let the king say so.

updv@1Kings:22:9 @ Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.

updv@1Kings:22:10 @ Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

updv@1Kings:22:11 @ And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, Thus says Yahweh, With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.

updv@1Kings:22:12 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.

updv@1Kings:22:13 @ And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Look now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one mouth: let your word, I pray you, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.

updv@1Kings:22:14 @ And Micaiah said, As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will speak.

updv@1Kings:22:15 @ And when he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up and prosper; and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.

updv@1Kings:22:16 @ And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?

updv@1Kings:22:17 @ And he said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Yahweh said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.

updv@1Kings:22:18 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Didn't I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?

updv@1Kings:22:19 @ And [Micaiah] said, Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

updv@1Kings:22:20 @ And Yahweh said, Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner; and another said on that manner.

updv@1Kings:22:21 @ And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said, I will entice him.

updv@1Kings:22:22 @ And Yahweh said to him, How? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You will entice him, and will prevail also: go forth, and do so.

updv@1Kings:22:23 @ Now therefore, look, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.

updv@1Kings:22:24 @ Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?

updv@1Kings:22:25 @ And Micaiah said, Look, you will see on that day, when you will go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

updv@1Kings:22:26 @ And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

updv@1Kings:22:27 @ and say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

updv@1Kings:22:28 @ And Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, you(note:){+}(:note) peoples, all of you{+}.
