14:018:019 And the lord 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.
14:018:020 Then there came out a spirit, and stood
before the lord, and
said,
I will entice him. And the lord said unto
him,
Wherewith?
14:018:021 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying
spirit in the mouth
of
all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt
entice him,
and
thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
14:018:022 Now therefore, behold, the lord hath
put a lying spirit in the
mouth
of these thy prophets, and the lord hath spoken
evil
against
thee.
14:018:023 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came
near, and smote
Micaiah
upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit
of
the
lord from me to speak unto thee?
14:018:024 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see
on that day when thou
shalt
go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
14:018:025 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;
14:018:026 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.
14:018:027 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return
in peace, then hath
not
the lord spoken by me. And he said, Hearken,
all ye
people.
14:018:028 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the
king of Judah went
up
to Ramothgilead.
14:018:029 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat,
I will disguise
myself,
and I will go to the battle; but put thou on thy
robes.
So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went
to
the battle.
14:018:030 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.
14:018:031 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 the lord helped him; and God moved them
to
depart
from him.
14:018:032 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.
