2 Chronicles 18:10-23
10And 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.
11And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 soH3651, sayingH559, GoH5927 up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosperH6743; for Jehovah will giveH5414 it into the king's handH3027.
12And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 Micah spokeH1696 to him sayingH559, Behold, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 [declare] goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 assent: let thy wordH1697 therefore, I pray thee, beH1961 like oneH259 of theirs, and declare goodH2896.
13And Micah saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, even what my 1GodH430 shall sayH559, that will I declare.
14And he cameH935 to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, MicahH4318, shall we goH935 against Ramoth-Gilead to battleH4421, or shall I forbear? And he saidH559, GoH935 ye up, and prosperH6743; and they will be givenH5414 into your handsH3027.
15And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, HowH4100 many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou tell me nothing but truthH571 in the nameH8034 of Jehovah?
16And 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.
17And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tell thee that he prophesiesH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451?
18And he saidH559, HearH8085 ye thereforeH3651 the wordH1697 of Jehovah: I sawH7200 Jehovah sittingH3427 upon his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 on his rightH3225 handH3225 and on his left;
19and Jehovah saidH559, Who shall entice AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 that he may goH5927 up and fallH5307 at Ramoth-Gilead? And oneH2088 spoke sayingH559 after this manner, and another sayingH559 after that manner.
20And there cameH3318 forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 before Jehovah and saidH559, I will entice him. And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, Wherewith?
21And 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.
22And nowH6258, behold, Jehovah has putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of these thy prophetsH5030; and Jehovah has spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee.
23Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheekH3895, and saidH559, Which wayH1870 now went the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah from me to speakH1696 to thee?
