2 Chronicles 18:10-23

10And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 had madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, With these thou shalt pushH5055 SyriaH758 until they be consumedH3615.1

11And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to Ramoth–gileadH1568H7433, and prosperH6743: for YhwhH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428.

12And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spakeH1696 to him, sayingH559, Behold, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 assentH6310; let thy wordH1697 therefore, I pray thee, be like oneH259 of theirs, and speakH1696 thou goodH2896.2

13And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As YhwhH3068 livethH2416, even what my GodH430 saithH559, that will I speakH1696.

14And when he was comeH935 to the kingH4428, the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, MicaiahH4318, shall we goH3212 to Ramoth–gileadH1568H7433 to battleH4421, or shall I forbearH2308? And he saidH559, Go ye upH5927, and prosperH6743, and they shall be deliveredH5414 into your handH3027.

15And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou sayH1696 nothing but the truthH571 to me in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068?

16Then he saidH559, I did seeH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the mountainsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have no shepherdH7462: And YhwhH3068 saidH559, These have no masterH113; let them returnH7725 therefore every manH376 to his houseH1004 in peaceH7965.

17And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, Did I not tellH559 thee that he would not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 unto me, but evilH7451?3

18Again he saidH559, Therefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068; I sawH7200 YhwhH3068 sittingH3427 upon his throneH3678, and all the armyH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040.

19And YhwhH3068 saidH559, Who shall enticeH6601 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at Ramoth–gileadH1568H7433? And one spakeH559 sayingH559 after this mannerH3602, and another sayingH559 after that mannerH3602.

20Then there came outH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, and saidH559, I will enticeH6601 him. And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto him, Wherewith?

21And he saidH559, I will go outH3318, and be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And the Lord saidH559, Thou shalt enticeH6601 him, and thou shalt also prevailH3201: go outH3318, and doH6213 even so.

22Now therefore, behold, YhwhH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of these thy prophetsH5030, And YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 against thee.

23Then ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 came nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 upon the cheekH3895, and saidH559, WhichH335 wayH1870 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of YhwhH3068 from me to speakH1696 unto thee?
