1 Kings 22:7-28

7But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not hereH6311 a prophetH5030 of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?

8And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, There is yetH5750 oneH259 manH376 by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hateH8130 him, for he prophesiesH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451: [it is] Micah the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 soH3651.

9Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 a chamberlain, and saidH559, Fetch quicklyH4116 Micah the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229.

10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, having putH3847 on their robes, satH3427 each on his throneH3678, in the open place at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 before them.

11And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of Chenaanah madeH6213 for himself hornsH7161 of ironH1270, and he saidH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.

12And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 soH3651, sayingH559, GoH5927 up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosperH6743; for Jehovah will giveH5414 it into the king's handH3027.

13And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 Micah spokeH1696 to him sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 [declare] goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 assent: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, beH1961 like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 goodH2896.

14And Micah saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, even what Jehovah shall sayH559 to me, that will I speakH1696.

15And he cameH935 to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, Micah, shall we goH935 against Ramoth-Gilead to battleH4421, or shall we forbear? And he saidH559 to him, GoH935 up, and prosperH6743; for Jehovah will giveH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.

16And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, HowH4100 many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou tell me nothing but truthH571 in the nameH8034 of Jehovah?

17And he saidH559, I sawH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the mountainsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have no shepherdH7462. And Jehovah saidH559, These have no masterH113: let them returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.

18And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tell thee that he prophesiesH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451?

19And he saidH559, HearH8085 thereforeH3651 the wordH1697 of Jehovah: I sawH7200 Jehovah sittingH3427 upon his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by him, on his rightH3225 handH3225 and on his left;

20and Jehovah saidH559, Who shall entice AhabH256 that he may goH5927 up and fallH5307 at Ramoth-Gilead? And oneH2088 saidH559 after this manner, and another saidH559 after that manner.

21And there cameH3318 forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 before Jehovah, and saidH559, I will entice him.

22And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, Wherewith? And he saidH559, I will goH3318 forthH3318, and will beH1961 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt entice [him], and alsoH1571 succeed: goH3318 forthH3318, and do soH3651.

23And nowH6258, behold, Jehovah has putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030, and Jehovah has spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.

24Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheekH3895, and saidH559, WhereH335 now went the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah from me to speakH1696 to thee?

25And Micah saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 on that dayH3117 when thou shalt goH935 from chamberH2315 to chamberH2315 to hideH2247 thyself.

26And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 Micah and carry him backH7725 to AmonH526 the governor of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3101 the king's sonH1121;

27and thou shalt sayH559, ThusH3541 saysH559 the kingH4428: PutH7760 this [man] in the prison, and feed him with breadH3899 of affliction and with waterH4325 of affliction, until I comeH935 in peaceH7965.

28And Micah saidH559, If thou returnH7725 at all in peaceH7965, Jehovah has not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, Hearken, O peoplesH5971, all of you!
