And the king H4428 of Israel H3478 said H559 to his servants, H5650 Know H3045 you that Ramoth H7216 in Gilead H1568 is ours, and we be still, and take H3947 it not out of the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Syria? H758

And Jehoshaphat H3092 said H559 to the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 Inquire, H1875 I pray H4994 you, at the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 to day. H3117

And Jehoshaphat H3092 said, H559 Is there not here H6311 a prophet H5030 of the LORD H3068 besides, H5750 that we might inquire H1875 of him?

Then the king H4428 of Israel H3478 called H7121 an officer, H5631 and said, H559 Hasten H4116 here Micaiah H4321 the son H1121 of Imlah. H3229

And Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Chenaanah H3668 made H6213 him horns H7161 of iron: H1270 and he said, H559 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 With these H428 shall you push H5055 the Syrians, H758 until H5704 you have consumed H3615 them.

And the messenger H4397 that was gone H1980 to call H7121 Micaiah H4321 spoke H1696 to him, saying, H559 Behold H2009 now, H4994 the words H1697 of the prophets H5030 declare good H2896 to the king H4428 with one H259 mouth: H6310 let your word, H1697 I pray H4994 you, be like the word H1697 of one H259 of them, and speak H1696 that which is good. H2896

So he came H935 to the king. H4428 And the king H4428 said H559 to him, Micaiah, H4321 shall we go H3212 against H413 Ramothgilead H7433 to battle, H4421 or shall we forbear? H2308 And he answered H559 him, Go, H5927 and prosper: H6743 for the LORD H3068 shall deliver H5414 it into the hand H3027 of the king. H4428

And he said, H559 I saw H7200 all H3605 Israel H3478 scattered H6327 on the hills, H2022 as sheep H6629 that have not a shepherd: H7462 and the LORD H3068 said, H559 These H428 have no H3808 master: H113 let them return H7725 every man H376 to his house H1004 in peace. H7965

And he said, H559 Hear H8085 you therefore H3651 the word H1697 of the LORD: H3068 I saw H7200 the LORD H3068 sitting H3427 on H5921 his throne, H3678 and all H3605 the host H6635 of heaven H8064 standing H5975 by him on his right H3225 hand H3225 and on his left. H8040

And there came H3318 forth H3318 a spirit, H7307 and stood H5975 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 and said, H559 I will persuade H6601 him.

Now H6258 therefore, behold, H2009 the LORD H3068 has put H5414 a lying H8267 spirit H7307 in the mouth H6310 of all H3605 these H428 your prophets, H5030 and the LORD H3068 has spoken H1696 evil H7451 concerning H5921 you.

And Micaiah H4321 said, H559 Behold, H2009 you shall see H7200 in that day, H3117 when H834 you shall go H935 into an inner H2315 chamber H2315 to hide H2247 yourself.

And say, H559 Thus H3541 said H559 the king, H4428 Put H7760 this H2088 fellow in the prison, H1004 H3608 and feed H398 him with bread H3899 of affliction H3905 and with water H4325 of affliction, H3905 until H5704 I come H935 in peace. H7965

So the king H4428 of Israel H3478 and Jehoshaphat H3092 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 went H5927 up to Ramothgilead. H7433

But the king H4428 of Syria H758 commanded H6680 his thirty H7970 and two H8147 captains H8269 that had rule over his chariots, H7393 saying, H559 Fight H3898 neither H3808 with small H6996 nor great, H1419 save H3588 H518 only H905 with the king H4428 of Israel. H3478

And it came H1961 to pass, when the captains H8269 of the chariots H7393 perceived H7200 that it was not the king H4428 of Israel, H3478 that they turned H7725 back H7725 from pursuing H310 him.

And the battle H4421 increased H5927 that day: H3117 and the king H4428 was stayed H5975 up in his chariot H4818 against H5227 the Syrians, H758 and died H4191 at even: H6153 and the blood H1818 ran H3332 out of the wound H4347 into H413 the middle H2436 of the chariot. H7393

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

Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Ahab, H256 and all H3605 that he did, H6213 and the ivory H8127 house H1004 which H834 he made, H1129 and all H3605 the cities H5892 that he built, H1129 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Israel? H3478

And Jehoshaphat H3092 the son H1121 of Asa H609 began to reign H4427 over H5921 Judah H3063 in the fourth H702 year H8141 of Ahab H256 king H4428 of Israel. H3478

And he walked H3212 in all H3605 the ways H1870 of Asa H609 his father; H1 he turned H5493 not aside from it, doing H6213 that which was right H3477 in the eyes H5869 of the LORD: H3068 nevertheless H389 the high H1116 places were not taken H5493 away; H5493 for the people H5971 offered H2076 and burnt H6999 incense H6999 yet H3588 in the high H1116 places.

Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jehoshaphat, H3092 and his might H1369 that he showed, H6213 and how H834 he warred, H3898 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063

There was then no H369 king H4428 in Edom: H123 a deputy H5324 was king. H4428

Then H227 said H559 Ahaziah H274 the son H1121 of Ahab H256 to Jehoshaphat, H3092 Let my servants H5650 go H3212 with your servants H5650 in the ships. H591 But Jehoshaphat H3092 would H14 not.

And he placed H5414 forces H2428 in all H3605 the fenced H1219 cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and set H5414 garrisons H5333 in the land H776 of Judah, H3063 and in the cities H5892 of Ephraim, H669 which H834 Asa H609 his father H25 had taken. H3920

But sought H1875 to the Lord God H430 of his father, H25 and walked H1980 in his commandments, H4687 and not after the doings H4639 of Israel. H3478

And his heart H3820 was lifted H1361 up in the ways H1870 of the LORD: H3068 moreover H5750 he took away H5493 the high H1116 places and groves H842 out of Judah. H3063

And with them he sent Levites, H3881 even Shemaiah, H8098 and Nethaniah, H5418 and Zebadiah, H2069 and Asahel, H6214 and Shemiramoth, H8070 and Jehonathan, H3083 and Adonijah, H138 and Tobijah, H2900 and Tobadonijah, H2899 Levites; H3881 and with them Elishama H476 and Jehoram, H3088 priests. H3548

And the fear H6343 of the LORD H3068 fell H1961 on all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the lands H776 that were round H5439 about Judah, H3063 so that they made no H3808 war H3898 against H5973 Jehoshaphat. H3092

And Jehoshaphat H3092 waxed H1980 great H1432 exceedingly; H4605 and he built H1129 in Judah H3063 castles, H1003 and cities H5892 of store. H4543

And these H428 are the numbers H6486 of them according to the house H1004 of their fathers: H1 Of Judah, H3063 the captains H8269 of thousands; H505 Adnah H5734 the chief, H8269 and with him mighty H1368 men of valor H2428 three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand. H505

And next H5921 H3027 him was Amasiah H6007 the son H1121 of Zichri, H2147 who willingly H5068 offered himself to the LORD; H3068 and with him two hundred H3967 thousand H505 mighty H1368 men of valor. H2428

And next H5921 H3027 him was Jehozabad, H3075 and with him an hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 thousand H505 ready prepared H2502 for the war. H6635

Sixteen H8337 H6240 years H8141 old H1121 was he when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 two H8147 and fifty H2572 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Jecholiah H3203 of Jerusalem. H3389

Save H7535 that the high H1116 places were not removed: H5493 the people H5971 sacrificed H2076 and burnt H6999 incense H6999 still H5750 on the high H1116 places.

And the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Azariah, H5838 and all H3605 that he did, H6213 are they not written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 of the kings H4428 of Judah? H3063

He built H1129 Eloth, H359 and restored H7725 it to Judah, H3063 after H310 that the king H4428 slept H7901 with his fathers. H1

And he did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 according to all H3605 that his father H25 Amaziah H558 did. H6213

And he went H3318 forth H3318 and warred H3898 against the Philistines, H6430 and broke H6555 down the wall H2346 of Gath, H1661 and the wall H2346 of Jabneh, H2996 and the wall H2346 of Ashdod, H795 and built H1129 cities H5892 about Ashdod, H795 and among the Philistines. H6430

And the Ammonites H5984 gave H5414 gifts H4503 to Uzziah: H5818 and his name H8034 spread H3212 abroad even to the entering H935 in of Egypt; H4714 for he strengthened H2388 himself exceedingly. H4605

Also he built H1129 towers H4026 in the desert, H4057 and dig H2672 many H7227 wells: H953 for he had H1961 much H7227 cattle, H929 both in the low H8219 country, and in the plains: H4334 farmers H406 also, and vine H3755 dressers H3755 in the mountains, H2022 and in Carmel: H3760 for he loved H157 husbandry. H127

The whole H3605 number H4557 of the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of the mighty H1368 men of valor H2428 were two thousand H505 and six H8337 hundred. H3967

And Uzziah H5818 prepared H3559 for them throughout all H3605 the host H6635 shields, H4043 and spears, H7420 and helmets, H3553 and habergeons, H8302 and bows, H7198 and slings H7050 to cast stones. H68

But when he was strong, H2394 his heart H3820 was lifted H1361 up to his destruction: H7843 for he transgressed H4603 against the LORD H3068 his God, H430 and went H935 into H413 the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 to burn H6999 incense H6999 on the altar H4196 of incense. H7004

And they withstood H5975 Uzziah H5818 the king, H4428 and said H559 to him, It appertains not to you, Uzziah, H5818 to burn H6999 incense H6999 to the LORD, H3068 but to the priests H3548 the sons H1121 of Aaron, H175 that are consecrated H6942 to burn H6999 incense: H6999 go H3318 out of the sanctuary; H4720 for you have trespassed; H4603 neither H3808 shall it be for your honor H3519 from the LORD H3068 God. H430

And Azariah H5838 the chief H7218 priest, H3548 and all H3605 the priests, H3548 looked H6437 on him, and, behold, H2009 he was leprous H6879 in his forehead, H4696 and they thrust H926 him out from there; H8033 yes, himself H1931 hurried H1765 also H1571 to go H3318 out, because H3588 the LORD H3068 had smitten H5060 him.

Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Uzziah, H5818 first H7223 and last, H314 did Isaiah H3470 the prophet, H5030 the son H1121 of Amoz, H531 write. H3789
