1 Kings 22:7-28

7And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 besidesH5750, that we may enquireH1875 of him? 8And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to JehoshaphatH3092, There is yet oneH259 manH376, MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229, by whom we may enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068: but I hateH8130 him; for he doth not prophesyH5012 goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451. And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Let not the kingH4428 sayH559 so. 9Then the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 anH259 officerH5631, and saidH559, HastenH4116 here MicaiahH4321 the sonH1121 of ImlahH3229.1 10And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 satH3427 eachH376 on his throneH3678, having put onH3847 their robesH899, in a threshingfloorH1637 at the entranceH6607 of the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; and all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 beforeH6440 them.2 11And ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 madeH6213 him hornsH7161 of ironH1270: and he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, With these shalt thou pushH5055 the SyriansH758, until thou hast consumedH3615 them. 12And all the prophetsH5030 prophesiedH5012 so, sayingH559, Go upH5927 to RamothgileadH7433H1568, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the king’sH4428 handH3027. 13And the messengerH4397 that wentH1980 to callH7121 MicaiahH4321 spokeH1696 to him, sayingH559, Behold now, the wordsH1697 of the prophetsH5030 declare goodH2896 to the kingH4428 with oneH259 mouthH6310: let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be like the wordH1697 of oneH259 of them, and speakH1696 that which is goodH2896. 14And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, what the LORDH3068 saithH559 to me, that will I speakH1696.

15So he cameH935 to the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, MicaiahH4321, shall we goH3212 against RamothgileadH7433H1568 to battleH4421, or shall we forbearH2308? And he answeredH559 him, GoH5927, and prosperH6743: for the LORDH3068 shall deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the kingH4428. 16And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, How many timesH6471 shall I adjureH7650 thee that thou tellH1696 me nothing but that which is trueH571 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068? 17And he saidH559, I sawH7200 all IsraelH3478 scatteredH6327 upon the hillsH2022, as sheepH6629 that have not a shepherdH7462: and the LORDH3068 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 tellH559 thee that he would prophesyH5012 no goodH2896 concerning me, but evilH7451? 19And he saidH559, HearH8085 thou therefore the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: I sawH7200 the LORDH3068 sittingH3427 on his throneH3678, and all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 standingH5975 by him on his right handH3225 and on his leftH8040. 20And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Who shall persuadeH6601 AhabH256, that he may go upH5927 and fallH5307 at RamothgileadH7433H1568? And one saidH559 in this mannerH3541, and another saidH559 in that mannerH3541.3 21And there came forthH3318 a spiritH7307, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, I will persuadeH6601 him. 22And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to him, How? And he saidH559, I will go forthH3318, and I will be a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all his prophetsH5030. And he saidH559, Thou shalt persuadeH6601 him, and prevailH3201 also: go forthH3318, and doH6213 so. 23Now therefore, behold, the LORDH3068 hath putH5414 a lyingH8267 spiritH7307 in the mouthH6310 of all these thy prophetsH5030, and the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 evilH7451 concerning thee. 24But ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of ChenaanahH3668 went nearH5066, and smoteH5221 MicaiahH4321 on the cheekH3895, and saidH559, Which wayH335 wentH5674 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 from me to speakH1696 to thee? 25And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, Behold, thou shalt seeH7200 in that dayH3117, when thou shalt goH935 into an innerH2315 chamberH2315 to hideH2247 thyself.4 26And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, TakeH3947 MicaiahH4321, and carry him backH7725 to AmonH526 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and to JoashH3101 the king’sH4428 sonH1121; 27And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, PutH7760 this man in the prisonH1004H3608, and feedH398 him with breadH3899 of afflictionH3906 and with waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, until I comeH935 in peaceH7965. 28And MicaiahH4321 saidH559, If thou shalt returnH7725 at allH7725 in peaceH7965, the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696 by me. And he saidH559, HearkenH8085, O peopleH5971, each one of you.
