11:021:027 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those
words, that he rent
his
clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted,
and
lay
in sackcloth, and went softly.
11:021:028 And the word of the lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
11:021:029 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before
me? because he
humbleth
himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his
days:
but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon
his
house.
11:022:001 And they continued three years without
war between Syria and
Israel.
11:022:002 And it came to pass in the third year,
that Jehoshaphat the
king
of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
11:022:003 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?
11:022:004 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.
11:022:005 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel,
Enquire, I pray
thee,
at the word of the lord to day.
11:022:006 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.
11:022:007 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here
a prophet of the lord
besides,
that we might enquire of him?
11:022:008 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat,
There is yet one
man,
Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire 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.
11:022:009 Then the king of Israel called an officer,
and said, Hasten
hither
Micaiah the son of Imlah.
11:022:010 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.
11:022:011 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.
11:022:012 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying,
Go up to
Ramothgilead,
and prosper: for the lord shall deliver it
into
the
king’s hand.
