  18:1 ¶
And Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Ahab{gr.Achaab}. |
|
18:1 ¶
Now Jehoshaphat°
had°
riches°
and honour°
in abundance,°
and joined affinity°°
with Ahab.° |
|
18:2
And he went down after a term of years to Ahab{gr.Achaab} to Samaria: and Ahab{gr.Achaab} slew for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Gilead{gr.Galaad}. |
|
18:2
And after°
[certain] years°
he went down°°
to°
Ahab°
to Samaria.°
And Ahab°
killed°°
sheep°
and oxen°
for him in abundance,°
and for the people°
that°
[he had] with°
him, and persuaded°°
him to go up°°
[with him] to°
Ramothgilead.°° |
|
18:3
And Ahab{gr.Achaab} king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} king of Judah{gr.Juda}, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth of the country of Gilead{gr.Galaad}? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [art] thou, as thy people, [so] also [is] my people with thee for the war. |
|
18:3
And Ahab°
king°
of Israel°
said°°
unto°
Jehoshaphat°
king°
of Judah,°
Wilt thou go°°°
with°
me to Ramothgilead?°°
And he answered°°
him, I°
[am] as thou°
[art], and my people°
as thy people;°
and [we will be] with°
thee in the war.° |
|
18:4 ¶
And Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray thee, the Lord to-day. |
|
18:4 ¶
And Jehoshaphat°
said°°
unto°
the king°
of Israel,°
Enquire,°°
I pray thee,°
at°
the word°
of Yahweh°
to day.° |
|
18:5
And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Gilead{gr.Galaad} to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king. |
|
18:5
Therefore the king°
of Israel°
gathered together°°°
of prophets°
four°
hundred°
men,°
and said°°
unto°
them, Shall we go°°°
to°
Ramothgilead°°
to battle,°
or°
shall I forbear?°°
And they said,°°
Go up;°°
for Elohim°
will deliver°°
[it] into the king's°
hand.° |
|
18:6
And Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him? |
|
18:6
But Jehoshaphat°
said,°°
[Is there] not°
here°
a prophet°
of Yahweh°
besides,°
that we might enquire°°
of him?°° |
|
18:7
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Micah{gr.Michaias} the son of Jembla. And Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} said, Let not the king say so. |
|
18:7
And the king°
of Israel°
said°°
unto°
Jehoshaphat,°
[There is] yet°
one°
man,°
by whom°°
we may enquire°°
of°
Yahweh:°
but I°
hate°°
him; for°
he never°
prophesied°°
good°
unto°
me, but°
always°°
evil:°
the same°
[is] Micaiah°
the son°
of Imla.°
And Jehoshaphat°
said,°°
Let not°
the king°
say°°
so.° |
|
18:8
And the king called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Micah{gr.Michaias} the son of Jembla. |
|
18:8
And the king°
of Israel°
called°°
for°
one°
[of his] officers,°
and said,°°
Fetch quickly°°
Micaiah°
the son°
of Imla.° |
|
18:9
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} king of Judah{gr.Juda} were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying before them. |
|
18:9
And the king°
of Israel°
and Jehoshaphat°
king°
of Judah°
sat°°
either°
of them on°
his throne,°
clothed°°
in [their] robes,°
and they sat°°
in a void place°
at the entering in°
of the gate°
of Samaria;°
and all°
the prophets°
prophesied°°
before°
them. |
|
18:10
And Zedekiah{gr.Sedekias} son of Canaan{gr.Chanaan} made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt thrust Syria until it be consumed. |
|
18:10
And Zedekiah°
the son°
of Chenaanah°
had made°°
him horns°
of iron,°
and said,°°
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
With these°
thou shalt push°°°
Syria°
until°
they be consumed.°° |
|
18:11
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Gilead{gr.Galaad}, and thou shalt prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king. |
|
18:11
And all°
the prophets°
prophesied°°
so,°
saying,°°
Go up°°
to Ramothgilead,°°
and prosper:°°
for Yahweh°
shall deliver°°
[it] into the hand°
of the king.° |
|
18:12
And the messenger that went to call Micah{gr.Michaias} spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray thee, thy words be as [the words] of one of them, and do thou speak good things. |
|
18:12
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.° |
|
18:13
And Micah{gr.Michaias} said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak. |
|
18:13
And Micaiah°
said,°°
[As] Yahweh°
liveth,°
even°°
what°
my Elohim°
saith,°°
that will I speak.°° |
|
18:14
And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Micah{gr.Michaias}, shall I go up to Ramoth Gilead{gr.Galaad} to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and thou shalt prosper, and they shall be given into your hands. |
|
18:14
And when he was come°°
to°
the king,°
the king°
said°°
unto°
him, Micaiah,°
shall we go°°°
to°
Ramothgilead°°
to battle,°
or°
shall I forbear?°°
And he said,°°
Go ye up,°°
and prosper,°°
and they shall be delivered°°
into your hand.° |
|
18:15
And the king said to him, How often shall I solemnly charge thee that thou speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord? |
|
18:15
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 Yahweh?° |
|
18:16
And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace. |
|
18:16
Then he said,°°
I did see°°°
all°
Israel°
scattered°°
upon°
the mountains,°
as sheep°
that°
have no°
shepherd:°°
and Yahweh°
said,°°
These°
have no°
adon;°
let them return°°
[therefore] every man°
to his house°
in peace.° |
|
18:17
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}, Said I not to thee, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but evil? |
|
18:17
And the king°
of Israel°
said°°
to°
Jehoshaphat,°
Did I not°
tell°°°
thee [that] he would not°
prophesy°°
good°
unto°
me, but°°
evil?° |
|
18:18
But he said, Not so. Hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his left. |
|
18:18
Again he said,°°
Therefore°
hear°°
the word°
of Yahweh;°
I saw°°°
Yahweh°
sitting°°
upon°
his throne,°
and all°
the host°
of heaven°
standing°°
on°
his right hand°
and [on] his left.° |
|
18:19
And the Lord said, Who will deceive Ahab{gr.Achaab} king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Gilead{gr.Galaad}? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way. |
|
18:19
And Yahweh°
said,°°
Who°
shall entice°°°
Ahab°
king°
of Israel,°
that he may go up°°
and fall°°
at Ramothgilead?°°
And one°
spake°°
saying°°
after this manner,°
and another°
saying°°
after that manner.° |
|
18:20
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby? |
|
18:20
Then there came out°°
a spirit,°
and stood°°
before°
Yahweh,°
and said,°°
I°
will entice°°
him. And Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
him, Wherewith?° |
|
18:21
And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, Thou shalt deceive [him], and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so. |
|
18:21
And he said,°°
I will go out,°°
and be°
a lying°
spirit°
in the mouth°
of all°
his prophets.°
And [Yahweh] said,°°
Thou shalt entice°°
[him], and thou shalt also°
prevail:°°
go out,°°
and do°°
[even] so.° |
|
18:22
And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against thee. |
|
18:22
Now°
therefore, behold,°
Yahweh°
hath put°°
a lying°
spirit°
in the mouth°
of these°
thy prophets,°
and Yahweh°
hath spoken°°
evil°
against°
thee. |
|
18:23
Then Zedekiah{gr.Sedekias} the son of Canaan{gr.Chanaan} drew near, and smote Micah{gr.Michaias} on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to thee? |
|
18:23
Then Zedekiah°
the son°
of Chenaanah°
came near,°°
and smote°°°
Micaiah°
upon°
the cheek,°
and said,°°
Which°°
way°
went°°
the Spirit°
of Yahweh°
from°°
me to speak°°
unto°
thee? |
|
18:24
And Micah{gr.Michaias} said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself. |
|
18:24
And Micaiah°
said,°°
Behold,°
thou shalt see°°
on that°
day°
when°
thou shalt go°°
into an inner°
chamber°
to hide°°
thyself.° |
|
18:25
And the king of Israel said, Take Micah{gr.Michaias}, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joash{gr.Joas} the captain, the king's son; |
|
18:25
Then the king°
of Israel°
said,°°
Take°°
ye°
Micaiah,°
and carry him back°°
to°
Amon°
the governor°
of the city,°
and to°
Joash°
the king's°
son;° |
|
18:26
and ye shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the water of affliction, until I return in peace. |
|
18:26
And say,°°
Thus°
saith°°
the king,°
Put°°
this°
[fellow] in the prison,°°
and feed°°
him with bread°
of affliction°
and with water°
of affliction,°
until°
I return°°
in peace.° |
|
18:27
And Micah{gr.Michaias} said, If thou do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all ye people. |
|
18:27
And Micaiah°
said,°°
If°
thou certainly°°
return°°
in peace,°
[then] hath not°
Yahweh°
spoken°°
by me. And he said,°°
Hearken,°°
all°
ye people.° |
|
18:28
So the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} king of Judah{gr.Juda}, went up to Ramoth Gilead{gr.Galaad}. |
|
18:28
So the king°
of Israel°
and Jehoshaphat°
the king°
of Judah°
went up°°
to°
Ramothgilead.°° |
|
18:29
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do thou put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle. |
|
18:29
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.° |
|
18:30
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel. |
|
18:30
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.° |
|
18:31
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away from him. |
|
18:31
And it came to pass,°
when the captains°
of the chariots°
saw°°°
Jehoshaphat,°
that they°
said,°°
It°
[is] the king°
of Israel.°
Therefore they compassed°
about°°°
him to fight:°°
but Jehoshaphat°
cried out,°°
and Yahweh°
helped°°
him; and Elohim°
moved°°
them [to depart] from°
him. |
|
18:32
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him. |
|
18:32
For it came to pass,°
that, when the captains°
of the chariots°
perceived°°
that°
it was°
not°
the king°
of Israel,°
they turned back again°°
from pursuing°°
him. |
|
18:33
And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn thine hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am wounded. |
|
18:33
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.°° |
|
18:34
And the battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset. |
|
18:34
And the battle°
increased°°
that°
day:°
howbeit the king°
of Israel°
stayed [himself] up°°°
in [his] chariot°
against°
the Syrians°
until°
the even:°
and about the time°
of the sun°
going down°°
he died.°° |
