11_1KI_22_01 And they continued three years without war between Syria And Israel .
11_1KI_22_02 And it came to pass in the third year , that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel .
11_1KI_22_03 And the king of Israel said unto his servants , know ye that Ramoth in Gilead [ Is ] ours , And we [ be ] still , [ And ] take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria ?
11_1KI_22_04 And he said unto Jehoshaphat , Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead ? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel , I [ am ] as thou [ art ] , my people as thy people , my horses as thy horses .
11_1KI_22_05 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel , Inquire , I pray thee , at the word of the LORD to day .
11_1KI_22_06 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together , about four hundred men , And said unto them , shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle , or shall I forbear ? And they said , go up ; for the LORD shall deliver [ it ] into the hand of the king .
11_1KI_22_07 And Jehoshaphat said , [ Is there ] not here A prophet of the LORD besides , that we might Inquire of him ?
11_1KI_22_08 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat , [ there Is ] yet one man , Micaiah the son of Imlah , by whom we may Inquire of the LORD : but I hate him ; for he Doth not prophesy good concerning me , but evil . And Jehoshaphat said , let not the king say So .
11_1KI_22_09 Then the king of Israel called an officer , And said , hasten [ hither ] Micaiah the son of Imlah .
11_1KI_22_10 And the king of Israel And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne , having put on their robes , in A void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria ; And all the prophets prophesied before them .
11_1KI_22_11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron : And he said , thus saith the LORD , with These shalt thou push the Syrians , until thou have consumed them .
11_1KI_22_12 And all the prophets prophesied So , saying , go up to Ramothgilead , And prosper : for the LORD shall deliver [ it ] into the king's hand .
11_1KI_22_13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him , saying , behold now , the words of the prophets [ declare ] good unto the king with one mouth : let thy word , I pray thee , be like the word of one of them , And speak [ that which Is ] good .
11_1KI_22_14 And Micaiah said , [ as ] the LORD liveth , what the LORD saith unto me , that will I speak .
11_1KI_22_15 So he came to the king . And the king said unto him , Micaiah , shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle , or shall we forbear ? And he answered him , go , And prosper : for the LORD shall deliver [ it ] into the hand of the king .
11_1KI_22_16 And the king said unto him , how Many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but [ that which Is ] true in the name of the LORD ?
11_1KI_22_17 And he said , I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills , as sheep that have not A Shepherd : And the LORD said , These have no master : let them Return every man to his house in peace .
11_1KI_22_18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat , did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me , but evil ?
11_1KI_22_19 And he said , hear thou therefore 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 hand And on his left .
11_1KI_22_20 And the LORD said , who shall persuade Ahab , that he may go up And fall at Ramothgilead ? And one said on this manner , And another said on that manner .
11_1KI_22_21 And there came forth A spirit , And stood before the LORD , And said , I will persuade him .
11_1KI_22_22 And the LORD said unto him , wherewith ? 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 shalt persuade [ him ] , And prevail also : go forth , And do So .
11_1KI_22_23 now therefore , behold , the LORD hath put A lying spirit in the mouth of all These thy prophets , And the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee .
11_1KI_22_24 but Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near , And smote Micaiah on the cheek , And said , which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee ?
11_1KI_22_25 And Micaiah said , behold , thou shalt see in that day , when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself .
11_1KI_22_26 And the king of Israel said , take Micaiah , And carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city , And to Joash the king's son ;
11_1KI_22_27 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 come in peace .
11_1KI_22_28 And Micaiah said , if thou Return at all in peace , the LORD hath not spoken by me . And he said , hearken , O people , every one of you .
11_1KI_22_29 So the king of Israel And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead .
11_1KI_22_30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat , I will disguise myself , And enter into the battle ; but put thou on thy robes . And the king of Israel disguised himself , And went into the battle .
11_1KI_22_31 but the king of Syria commanded his thirty And two captains that had rule over his chariots , saying , fight neither with small nor great , save only with the king of Israel .
11_1KI_22_32 And it came to pass , when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat , that they said , surely it [ Is ] the king of Israel . And they turned aside to fight against him : And Jehoshaphat cried out .
11_1KI_22_33 And it came to pass , when the captains of the chariots perceived that it [ was ] not the king of Israel , that they turned back from pursuing him .
11_1KI_22_34 And A [ certain ] man drew A bow at A venture , And smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness : Wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot , turn thine hand , And carry me out of the host ; for I am wounded .
11_1KI_22_35 And the battle increased that day : And the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians , And died at even : And the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot .
11_1KI_22_36 And there went A proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun , saying , every man to his city , And every man to his own country .
11_1KI_22_37 So the king died , And was brought to Samaria ; And they buried the king in Samaria .
11_1KI_22_38 And [ one ] washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria ; And the dogs licked up his blood ; And they washed his armour ; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake .
11_1KI_22_39 now the rest of the acts of Ahab , And all that he did , And the ivory house which he made , And all the cities that he built , [ are ] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
11_1KI_22_40 So Ahab slept with his fathers ; And Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead .
11_1KI_22_41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel .
11_1KI_22_42 Jehoshaphat [ was ] thirty And five years old when he began to reign ; And he reigned twenty And five years in Jerusalem . And his mother's name [ was ] Azubah the daughter of Shilhi .
11_1KI_22_43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his Father ; he turned not aside from it , doing [ that which was ] right in the eyes of the LORD : Nevertheless the high places were not taken away ; [ for ] the people offered And burnt incense yet in the high places .
11_1KI_22_44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel .
11_1KI_22_45 now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat , And his might that he showed , And how he warred , [ are ] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
11_1KI_22_46 And the remnant of the sodomites , which remained in the days of his Father Asa , he took out of the land .
11_1KI_22_47 [ there was ] Then no king in Edom : A deputy [ was ] king .
11_1KI_22_48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold : but they went not ; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber .
11_1KI_22_49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat , let my servants go with thy servants in the ships . but Jehoshaphat would not .
11_1KI_22_50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers , And was buried with his fathers in the city of David his Father : And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead .
11_1KI_22_51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah , And reigned two years over Israel .
11_1KI_22_52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD , And walked in the way of his Father , And in the way of his mother , And in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat , who made Israel to sin :
11_1KI_22_53 for he served Baal , And worshipped him , And provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel , according to all that his Father had done .
