2 Chronicles 18:1-13 ▼

1 And there will be to Jehoshaphat riches and honor for multitude, and he will contract affinity by marriage to Ahab.

2 And he will go down at the end of years to Ahab to Shomeron. And Ahab will sacrifice to him sheep and oxen for multitude, and to the people which are with him, and he will stimulate him to go up to Ramoth-Gilead.

3 And Ahab king of Israel will say to Jehoshaphat king of Judah. Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead? And he will say to him, As me, as thou; as thy people, my people; and with thee in war.

4 And Jehoshaphat will say to the king of Israel, Seek now according to the day the word of Jehovah.

5 And the king of Israel will gather together the prophets, four hundred men, and he will say to them, Shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to war, or shall I desist? And they will say, Go up, and God will give into the hand of the king.

6 And Jehoshaphat will say, Is there not yet more a prophet to Jehovah, and we will seek from him?

7 And the king of Israel will say to Jehoshaphat, Yet one man to seek Jehovah from him: and I hated him, for he prophesies not to me for good, but all his days for evil: he is Micaiah son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat will say, The king shall not say thus.

8 And the king of Israel will call for one eunuch, and say, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.

9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sitting each upon his throne, being clothed in garments, and sitting in the area of the door of the gate of Shomeron: and all the prophets prophesying before them.

10 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah will make for himself horns of iron; and he will say, Thus said Jehovah, With these shalt thou strike Aram even to finishing them.

11 And all the prophets prophesying thus, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead and prosper: and Jehovah gave into the hand of the king.

12 And the messenger who went to call for Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets with one mouth good to the king; and now will thy word be as one of them, and speak good.

13 And Micaiah will say, Jehovah lives, for what God shall say I shall speak it.
