Chapter 22
And
they
continued
three
years
without
war
between
Syria
and
Israel.
2
And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
third
year,
that
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
came
down
to
the
king
of
Israel.
3
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?
4
And
he
said
unto
Jehoshaphat,
Wilt
thou
go
with
me
to
battle
to
Ramoth-gilead?
And
Jehoshaphat
said
to
the
king
of
Israel,
I
am
as
thou
art,
my
people
as
thy
people,
my
horses
as
thy
horses.
5
And
Jehoshaphat
said
unto
the
king
of
Israel,
Inquire,
I
pray
thee,
at
the
word
of
the
Lord
to
day.
6
Then
the
king
of
Israel
gathered
the
prophets
together,
about
four
hundred
men,
and
said
unto
them,
Shall
I
go
against
Ramoth-gilead
to
battle,
or
shall
I
forbear?
And
they
said,
Go
up;
for
the
Lord
shall
deliver
it
into
the
hand
of
the
king.
7
And
Jehoshaphat
said,
Is
there
not
here
a
prophet
of
the
Lord
besides,
that
we
might
inquire
of
him?
8
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.
9
Then
the
king
of
Israel
called
an
officer,
and
said,
Hasten
hither
Micaiah
the
son
of
Imlah.
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
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.
12
And
all
the
prophets
prophesied
so,
saying,
Go
up
to
Ramoth-gilead,
and
prosper:
for
the
Lord
shall
deliver
it
into
the
king’s
hand.
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.
14
And
Micaiah
said,
As
the
Lord
liveth,
what
the
Lord
saith
unto
me,
that
will
I
speak.
15
So
he
came
to
the
king.
And
the
king
said
unto
him,
Micaiah,
shall
we
go
against
Ramoth-gilead
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.
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?
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.
18
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
unto
Jehoshaphat,
Did
I
not
tell
thee
that
he
would
prophesy
no
good
concerning
me,
but
evil?
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.
20
And
the
Lord
said,
Who
shall
persuade
Ahab,
that
he
may
go
up
and
fall
at
Ramoth-gilead?
And
one
said
on
this
manner,
and
another
said
on
that
manner.
21
And
there
came
forth
a
spirit,
and
stood
before
the
Lord,
and
said,
I
will
persuade
him.
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.
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.
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?
25
And
Micaiah
said,
Behold,
thou
shalt
see
in
that
day,
when
thou
shalt
go
into
an
inner
chamber
to
hide
thyself.
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;
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.
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.
29
So
the
king
of
Israel
and
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
went
up
to
Ramoth-gilead.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
37
So
the
king
died,
and
was
brought
to
Samaria;
and
they
buried
the
king
in
Samaria.
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.
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?
40
So
Ahab
slept
with
his
fathers;
and
Ahaziah
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
41
And
Jehoshaphat
the
son
of
Asa
began
to
reign
over
Judah
in
the
fourth
year
of
Ahab
king
of
Israel.
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.
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.
44
And
Jehoshaphat
made
peace
with
the
king
of
Israel.
45
Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoshaphat,
and
his
might
that
he
shewed,
and
how
he
warred,
are
they
not
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles
of
the
kings
of
Judah?
46
And
the
remnant
of
the
sodomites,
which
remained
in
the
days
of
his
father
Asa,
he
took
out
of
the
land.
47
There
was
then
no
king
in
Edom:
a
deputy
was
king.
48
Jehoshaphat
made
ships
of
Tharshish
to
go
to
Ophir
for
gold:
but
they
went
not;
for
the
ships
were
broken
at
Ezion-geber.
49
Then
said
Ahaziah
the
son
of
Ahab
unto
Jehoshaphat,
Let
my
servants
go
with
thy
servants
in
the
ships.
But
Jehoshaphat
would
not.
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.
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.
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:
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.
