the_son_of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou -hast_provoked_Me_to_ anger, and made «Israél to_sin.”
2% And of Jezebel also spake / the}? Lorp, saying, “The dogs shall_eat -Je-| %
zebel by the_wall_of Jezreel.
24 Him that_dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall_eat ; and him that_dieth in the field shall the_fowls_of the air eat.”
2 But there was_none like unto Ahab, which did_sell_himself to work xwickedness in the_sight_of / the Lorn, whom Jezebel his wife stirred_up.
26 And he did very abominably in fol- lowing @ xidols, according_to all things as did the Amorites, whom ‘the Lorp cast_out before the_schildren_of Is- raél.
27 And it came_to_pass, when Ahab heard xthose xwords, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 And the_word_of J the Lorp came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “Seest thou how Ahab -humbleth_ himself before Me? because he -hum- bleth_himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will_I_bring the eyil upon his house.” @

2 And it came_to_pass in the third xyear, that Jehoshaphat the_king_of ducak came_down to the_king_of Is- raél.
3 And the_king_of Israél said unto his servants, “Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead 7s ours, and we 6e s still, and take it not out_of the_hand_of the_ king_of Syria?”
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, “Wilt_thou_go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat said to the_king_of Israél, “I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.”
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the_ king_of Israél, “-Inquire, I_pray_thee, at -the_word_of 4 the Lorp to day.”
6 Then the_king_of Israél gathered rthe prophets together, about four hundred ‘men, and said unto them, “Shall I go inst Ramoth-gilead to xbattle, or shall_I forbear?” And they said, “*Go_up; for 4the =Lorp shall deliver it into the_hand_of the king.”
7 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a prophet of! the Lorn besides, that we might_inquire of him?”
8 And the_king_of Israél said unto Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one ‘man, m Micaiah the_son_of Imlah, by whom we may_inquire of J the Lorp: but £ hate him; for he 'doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king Say so.” : ® Then the_king_of Israél called oan e officer, and said, “-Hasten hither Mi- caiah the_son_of Imlah.”
