King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now Jehoshaphat[H3092] had[H1961] riches[H6239] and honor[H3519] in abundance,[H7230] and joined affinity[H2859] with Ahab.[H256]

2. And after[H7093] certain years[H8141] he went down[H3381] to[H413] Ahab[H256] to Samaria.[H8111] And Ahab[H256] killed[H2076] sheep[H6629] and oxen[H1241] for him in abundance,[H7230] and for the people[H5971] that[H834] he had with[H5973] him, and persuaded[H5496] him to go up[H5927] with him to[H413] Ramoth-gilead.[H7433]

3. And Ahab[H256] king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] said[H559] unto[H413] Jehoshaphat[H3092] king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] Wilt thou go[H1980] with[H5973] me to Ramoth-gilead?[H7433] And he answered[H559] him, I[H3644] am as thou[H3644] art, and my people[H5971] as thy people;[H5971] and we will be with[H5973] thee in the war.[H4421]

4. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] said[H559] unto[H413] the king[H4428] of Israel,[H3478] Inquire,[H1875] I pray thee,[H4994] at[H853] the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] today.[H3117]

5. Therefore the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] gathered together[H6908] [H853] of prophets[H5030] four[H702] hundred[H3967] men,[H376] and said[H559] unto[H413] them, Shall we go[H1980] to[H413] Ramoth-gilead[H7433] to battle,[H4421] or[H518] shall I forbear?[H2308] And they said,[H559] Go up;[H5927] for God[H430] will deliver[H5414] it into the king's[H4428] hand.[H3027]

6. But Jehoshaphat[H3092] said,[H559] Is there not[H369] here[H6311] a prophet[H5030] of the LORD[H3068] besides,[H5750] that we might inquire[H1875] of him?[H4480] [H854]

7. And the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] said[H559] unto[H413] Jehoshaphat,[H3092] There is yet[H5750] one[H259] man,[H376] by whom[H4480] [H854] we may inquire[H1875] of[H853] the LORD:[H3068] but I[H589] hate[H8130] him; for[H3588] he never[H369] prophesied[H5012] good[H2896] unto[H5921] me, but[H3588] always[H3605] [H3117] evil:[H7451] the same[H1931] is Micaiah[H4321] the son[H1121] of Imla.[H3229] And Jehoshaphat[H3092] said,[H559] Let not[H408] the king[H4428] say[H559] so.[H3651]

8. And the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] called[H7121] for[H413] one[H259] of his officers,[H5631] and said,[H559] Fetch quickly[H4116] Micaiah[H4319] the son[H1121] of Imla.[H3229]

9. And the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] and Jehoshaphat[H3092] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] sat[H3427] either[H376] of them on[H5921] his throne,[H3678] clothed[H3847] in their robes,[H899] and they sat[H3427] in a void place[H1637] at the entering in[H6607] of the gate[H8179] of Samaria;[H8111] and all[H3605] the prophets[H5030] prophesied[H5012] before[H6440] them.

10. And Zedekiah[H6667] the son[H1121] of Chenaanah[H3668] had made[H6213] him horns[H7161] of iron,[H1270] and said,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] With these[H428] thou shalt push[H5055] [H853] Syria[H758] until[H5704] they be consumed.[H3615]

11. And all[H3605] the prophets[H5030] prophesied[H5012] so,[H3651] saying,[H559] Go up[H5927] to Ramoth-gilead,[H7433] and prosper:[H6743] for the LORD[H3068] shall deliver[H5414] it into the hand[H3027] of the king.[H4428]

12. And the messenger[H4397] that[H834] went[H1980] to call[H7121] Micaiah[H4321] spoke[H1696] to[H413] him, saying,[H559] Behold,[H2009] the words[H1697] of the prophets[H5030] declare good[H2896] to[H413] the king[H4428] with one[H259] assent;[H6310] let thy word[H1697] therefore, I pray thee,[H4994] be[H1961] like one[H259] of[H4480] theirs, and speak[H1696] thou good.[H2896]

13. And Micaiah[H4321] said,[H559] As the LORD[H3068] liveth,[H2416] even[H3588] [H853] what[H834] my God[H430] saith,[H559] that will I speak.[H1696]

14. And when he was come[H935] to[H413] the king,[H4428] the king[H4428] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Micaiah,[H4318] shall we go[H1980] to[H413] Ramoth-gilead[H7433] to battle,[H4421] or[H518] shall I forbear?[H2308] And he said,[H559] Go ye up,[H5927] and prosper,[H6743] and they shall be delivered[H5414] into your hand.[H3027]

15. And the king[H4428] said[H559] to[H413] him, How many[H5704] [H4100] times[H6471] shall I[H589] adjure[H7650] thee that[H834] thou say[H1696] nothing[H3808] but[H7535] the truth[H571] to[H413] me in the name[H8034] of the LORD?[H3068]

16. Then he said,[H559] I did see[H7200] [H853] all[H3605] Israel[H3478] scattered[H6327] upon[H5921] the mountains,[H2022] as sheep[H6629] that[H834] have no[H369] shepherd:[H7462] and the LORD[H3068] said,[H559] These[H428] have no[H3808] master;[H113] let them return[H7725] therefore every man[H376] to his house[H1004] in peace.[H7965]

17. And the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] said[H559] to[H413] Jehoshaphat,[H3092] Did I not[H3808] tell[H559] [H413] thee that he would not[H3808] prophesy[H5012] good[H2896] unto[H5921] me, but[H3588] [H518] evil?[H7451]

18. Again he said,[H559] Therefore[H3651] hear[H8085] the word[H1697] of the LORD;[H3068] I saw[H7200] [H853] the LORD[H3068] sitting[H3427] upon[H5921] his throne,[H3678] and all[H3605] the host[H6635] of heaven[H8064] standing[H5975] on[H5921] his right hand[H3225] and on his left.[H8040]

19. And the LORD[H3068] said,[H559] Who[H4310] shall entice[H6601] [H853] Ahab[H256] king[H4428] of Israel,[H3478] that he may go up[H5927] and fall[H5307] at Ramoth-gilead?[H7433] And one[H2088] spoke[H559] saying[H559] after this manner,[H3602] and another[H2088] saying[H559] after that manner.[H3602]

20. Then there came out[H3318] a spirit,[H7307] and stood[H5975] before[H6440] the LORD,[H3068] and said,[H559] I[H589] will entice[H6601] him. And the LORD[H3068] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Wherewith?[H4100]

21. And he said,[H559] I will go out,[H3318] and be[H1961] a lying[H8267] spirit[H7307] in the mouth[H6310] of all[H3605] his prophets.[H5030] And the LORD said,[H559] Thou shalt entice[H6601] him, and thou shalt also[H1571] prevail:[H3201] go out,[H3318] and do[H6213] even so.[H3651]

22. Now[H6258] therefore, behold,[H2009] the LORD[H3068] hath put[H5414] a lying[H8267] spirit[H7307] in the mouth[H6310] of these[H428] thy prophets,[H5030] and the LORD[H3068] hath spoken[H1696] evil[H7451] against[H5921] thee.

23. Then Zedekiah[H6667] the son[H1121] of Chenaanah[H3668] came near,[H5066] and smote[H5221] [H853] Micaiah[H4321] upon[H5921] the cheek,[H3895] and said,[H559] Which[H335] [H2088] way[H1870] went[H5674] the Spirit[H7307] of the LORD[H3068] from[H4480] [H854] me to speak[H1696] unto[H854] thee?

24. And Micaiah[H4321] said,[H559] Behold,[H2009] thou shalt see[H7200] on that[H1931] day[H3117] when[H834] thou shalt go[H935] into an inner chamber[H2315] [H2315] to hide thyself.[H2244]

25. Then the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] said,[H559] Take[H3947] ye[H853] Micaiah,[H4321] and carry him back[H7725] to[H413] Amon[H526] the governor[H8269] of the city,[H5892] and to[H413] Joash[H3101] the king's[H4428] son;[H1121]

26. And say,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the king,[H4428] Put[H7760] this[H2088] fellow in the prison,[H1004] [H3608] and feed[H398] him with bread[H3899] of affliction[H3906] and with water[H4325] of affliction,[H3906] until[H5704] I return[H7725] in peace.[H7965]

27. And Micaiah[H4321] said,[H559] If[H518] thou certainly return[H7725] [H7725] in peace,[H7965] then hath not[H3808] the LORD[H3068] spoken[H1696] by me. And he said,[H559] Hearken,[H8085] all[H3605] ye people.[H5971]

28. So the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] and Jehoshaphat[H3092] the king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] went up[H5927] to[H413] Ramoth-gilead.[H7433]

29. And the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] said[H559] unto[H413] Jehoshaphat,[H3092] I will disguise myself,[H2664] and will go[H935] to the battle;[H4421] but put thou on[H859] [H3847] thy robes.[H899] So the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] disguised himself;[H2664] and they went[H935] to the battle.[H4421]

30. Now the king[H4428] of Syria[H758] had commanded[H6680] [H853] the captains[H8269] of the chariots[H7393] that[H834] were with him, saying,[H559] Fight[H3898] ye not[H3808] with[H854] small[H6996] or[H854] great,[H1419] save[H3588] [H518] only[H905] with[H854] the king[H4428] of Israel.[H3478]

31. And it came to pass,[H1961] when the captains[H8269] of the chariots[H7393] saw[H7200] [H853] Jehoshaphat,[H3092] that they[H1992] said,[H559] It[H1931] is the king[H4428] of Israel.[H3478] Therefore they compassed[H5437] about[H5921] him to fight:[H3898] but Jehoshaphat[H3092] cried out,[H2199] and the LORD[H3068] helped[H5826] him; and God[H430] moved[H5496] them to depart from[H4480] him.

32. For it came to pass,[H1961] that, when the captains[H8269] of the chariots[H7393] perceived[H7200] that[H3588] it was[H1961] not[H3808] the king[H4428] of Israel,[H3478] they turned back again[H7725] from pursuing[H4480] [H310] him.

33. And a certain man[H376] drew[H4900] a bow[H7198] at a venture,[H8537] and smote[H5221] [H853] the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] between[H996] the joints[H1694] of the harness:[H8302] therefore he said[H559] to his chariot man,[H7395] Turn[H2015] thine hand,[H3027] that thou mayest carry me out[H3318] of[H4480] the host;[H4264] for[H3588] I am wounded.[H2470]

34. And the battle[H4421] increased[H5927] that[H1931] day:[H3117] howbeit the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] stayed himself up[H1961] [H5975] in his chariot[H4818] against[H5227] the Syrians[H758] until[H5704] the even:[H6153] and about the time[H6256] of the sun[H8121] going down[H935] he died.[H4191]
