sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:3 @ And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilad is ours, and we remain idle, without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:4 @ And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to the battle against Ramothgilad? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I like thee, my people like thy people, my horses like thy horses.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:5 @ And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, today of the word of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:6 @ Then assembled the king of Israel the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them, shall I go against Ramothgilad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; and the Lord will deliver into the hand of the king.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:7 @ And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal besides, that we might inquire of him?
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:8 @ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we might inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he will never prophesy good concerning me, but evil: Michayhu the son of Yimlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:9 @ Then called the king of Israel a certain officer, and said, Hasten hither Michayhu the son of Yimlah.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:10 @ And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, dressed in their regal garments, in a threshingfloor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:12 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilad, and prosper; and the Lord will deliver it into the kings hand.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:13 @ And the messenger that went to call Michayhu spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: do let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of any one of them, and speak something good.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:14 @ And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly, what the Lord may say unto me, that will I speak.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:15 @ And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michayhu, shall we go against Ramothgilad to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up, and prosper; and may the Lord deliver it into the hand of the king.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:16 @ And the king said unto him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord?
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:17 @ And he said, I saw all Israel scattered over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:18 @ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but evil?
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:19 @ And he said, Therefore hear thou the word of the Lord, I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right and on his left.

sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:22 @ And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: go forth, and do so.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:23 @ And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:24 @ And Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which way passed the Spirit of the Lord away from me to speak with thee!
sf_leeser_rev1@1Kings:22:25 @ And Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day, when thou shalt go into the innermost chamber to hide thyself.
