1 Kings 22 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Now [fn]three ^H7969 years ^H8141 passed ^H3427 without ^H369 war ^H4421 between ^H996 Aram ^H758 and Israel ^H3478.

However, Jehoshaphat ^H3092 said ^H559 to the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478, “Please ^H4994 request ^H1875 the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 [fn]first ^H3117.”

Then the messenger ^H4397 who ^H834 went ^H1980 to summon ^H7121 Micaiah ^H4321 spoke ^H1696 to him saying ^H559, “Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, the words ^H1697 of the prophets ^H5030 are [fn]unanimously ^H259 H6310 favorable ^H2896 to the king ^H4428. Please ^H4994 let your word ^H1697 be like the word ^H1697 of one ^H259 of them, and speak ^H1696 favorably ^H2896.”

When he came ^H935 to the king ^H4428, the king ^H4428 said ^H559 to him, “Micaiah ^H4321, should we go ^H1980 to battle ^H4421 against ^H413 Ramoth-gilead ^H7433, or ^H518 should we refrain ^H2308?” And he said ^H559, “Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 and succeed ^H6743, for the LORD ^H3068 will hand ^H5414 H3027 it over ^H5414 to the king ^H4428!”

“I saw ^H7200 all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478

Scattered ^H6327 on the mountains ^H2022,

Like sheep ^H6629 that have ^H369 no ^H369 shepherd ^H7462.

And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559,

‘These ^H428 people have no ^H3808 master ^H113.

Each ^H376 of them is to return ^H7725 to his house ^H1004 in peace ^H7965.’”

Then the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 said ^H559 to Jehoshaphat ^H3092, “Did I not tell ^H559 you that he would not prophesy ^H5012 anything good ^H2896 regarding ^H5921 me, but only bad ^H7451?”

And Micaiah said ^H559, “Therefore ^H3651, hear ^H8085 the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068. I saw ^H7200 the LORD ^H3068 sitting ^H3427 on His throne ^H3678, and all ^H3605 the [fn]angels ^H6635 of heaven ^H8064 standing ^H5975 by Him on His right ^H3225 and on His left ^H8040.

Then Zedekiah ^H6667 the son ^H1121 of Chenaanah ^H3668 approached ^H5066 and struck ^H5221 Micaiah ^H4321 on the cheek ^H3895; and he said ^H559, “How ^H335 H2088 did the Spirit ^H7307 of the LORD ^H3068 pass ^H5674 from me to speak ^H1696 to you?”

So the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 and Jehoshaphat ^H3092 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 went ^H5927 up ^H5927 against Ramoth-gilead ^H7433.

Now one man ^H376 drew ^H4900 his bow ^H7198 at random ^H8537 and struck ^H5221 the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 [fn]in a joint ^H1694 of the armor ^H8302. So he said ^H559 to the driver ^H7395 of ^H7395 his chariot ^H7395, “Turn ^H2015 [fn]around ^H3027 and take ^H3318 me out ^H3318 of the battle ^H4264, for I am ^H2470 severely ^H2470 wounded ^H2470.”

So the king ^H4428 died ^H4191 and was brought ^H935 to Samaria ^H8111, and they buried ^H6912 the king ^H4428 in Samaria ^H8111.

Now Jehoshaphat ^H3092 the son ^H1121 of Asa ^H609 became ^H4427 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 Judah ^H3063 in the fourth ^H702 year ^H8141 of Ahab ^H256 king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478.

Now as for the rest ^H3499 of the acts ^H1697 of Jehoshaphat ^H3092, and his might ^H1369 which ^H834 he showed ^H6213 and how ^H834 he made ^H3898 war ^H3898, are they not written ^H3789 in the Book ^H5612 of the Chronicles ^H1697 H3117 of the Kings ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063?

Now there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 king ^H4428 in Edom ^H123; a governor ^H5324 served as king ^H4428.

Ahaziah ^H274 the son ^H1121 of Ahab ^H256 became ^H4427 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478 in Samaria ^H8111 in the seventeenth ^H7651 H6240 year ^H8141 of Jehoshaphat ^H3092 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063, and he reigned ^H4427 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478 for two years ^H8141.
