*
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him ,
saying ,
Behold ,
the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent ;
let thy word therefore ,
I pray thee ,
be like one of theirs ,
and speak thou good .
*
And Micaiah said ,
As the LORD liveth ,
even what my God saith ,
that will I speak .
*
And when he was come to the king ,
the king said unto him ,
Micaiah ,
shall we go to Ramothgilead Ramowth #
to battle ,
or shall I forbear ?
And he said ,
Go ye up ,
and prosper ,
and they shall be delivered into your hand .
*
And the king said to him ,
How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD ?
*
Then he said ,
I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains ,
as sheep that have no shepherd :
and the LORD said ,
These have no master ;
let them return therefore every man to his house in peace .
*
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat ,
Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me ,
but evil ?
*
Again he said ,
Therefore hear the word of the LORD ;
I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne ,
and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left s @

And the LORD said ,
Who shall entice Ahab #
Ach #
ab #
king of Israel Yisra #
el #,
that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead Ramowth #
Gil #
ad #?
And one spake saying after this manner ,
and another saying after that manner .
*
Then there came out a spirit ,
and stood before the LORD ,
and said ,
I will entice him .
And the LORD said unto him ,
Wherewith ?
*
And he said ,
I will go out ,
and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets .
And the LORD said ,
Thou shalt entice him ,
and thou shalt also prevail :
go out ,
and do even so .
*
Now therefore ,
behold ,
the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets ,
and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee .
*
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near ,
and smote Micaiah upon the cheek ,
and said ,
Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee ?
*
And Micaiah said ,
Behold ,
thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself .
*
Then the king of Israel said ,
Take ye Micaiah ,
and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city ,
and to Joash the kings son ;
*
And say ,
Thus saith the king ,
Put this fellow in the prison bayith #,
and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction ,
until I return in peace .
*
And Micaiah said ,
If thou certainly return in peace ,
then hath not the LORD spoken by me .
And he said ,
Hearken ,
all ye people .
*
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead Ramowth #
Gil #
ad #.
*
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat ,
I will disguise myself ,
and will go to the battle ;
but put thou on thy robes .
So the king of Israel disguised himself ;
and they went to the battle .
*
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him ,
saying ,
Fight ye not with small or great ,
save only with the king of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And it came to pass ,
when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat ,
that they said ,
It is the king of Israel Yisra #
el #.
Therefore they compassed about him to fight :
but Jehoshaphat cried out ,
and the LORD helped him ;
and God moved them to depart from him .
*
For it came to pass ,
that ,
when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel Yisra #
el #,
they turned back again from pursuing him .
*
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture ,
and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness :
therefore he said to his chariot man ,
Turn thine hand ,
that thou mayest carry me out of the host ;
for I am wounded .
