shaphat the_king_of Judah «sat each on his throne, having_put_on their robes, in a ¢ void_place in the_entrance_ of the_gate_of Samaria; and all the prophets «prophesied before them.
11 And Zedekiah the_son_of Chena- anah made him horns_of iron: and he said, “Thus -saith Jthe Lorp, With these shalt_thou_push -the Syrians, until thou -haye_consumed them.”
122 And all the prophets +prophesied so, saying, “-Go_up to Ramoth-gilead, and -prosper: «for / the Lorp -shall_ deliver it into the king’s hand.”
13 And the messenger that was_gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, “Behold now, the_words_of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth : ‘et thy word, I_pray_thee, be_ like the_word_of one of them, and *speak that which is good.”
14 And Micaiah said, “As the Lorp liveth, “what J the Lorp tsaith unto me, that will_I_speak.” "
1s So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, “ Micaiah, shall_ we_go against Ramoth-gilead to xbattle, or shall _we_ forbear?” And he an- swered him, “*Go, and -prosper: « for ‘the Lorp -shall_deliver it into the_ hand_of the king.”
16 And'the king said unto him, “How many times shall £ adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the_name_of ! the Lorp?”
Ww And he said, “I saw 4scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and ! the Lorp said, ‘These have no =master: Het_them_return ‘every_man to his house in peace.’ ”
18 And the_king_of Israél said unto Jehoshaphat, “ Did I not tell thee that he would_prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?”
19 And he said, “Hear thou therefore the_word_of /the Lorp: I saw ‘the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the_ host_of * x=heayen standing by Him on His right_hand and on His left.
20 And J the Lorp said, ‘Who shall_ epersuade -Ahab, that he may_go_up and fall at Ramoth-gilead ?’ And one said on this_manner, and another +said on that_manner.
*1 And there came-_forth a@ xspirit, and stood before ’the Lor», and said, “£ will_e persuade him.’
2 And Jthe Lorp said unto him, ‘Wherewith?’ And he said,‘ I will_go_ forth, and I -will_be a lying spirit in the_mouth_of all his prophets.’ And he said, ‘Thou shalt_e persuade him, and prevail also : -go_forth, and «do so.’
23 Now therefore, behold, Jthe Lorp shath_put a lying spirit in the_mouth_ of all these thy prophets, and 4 the Lorp shath_spoken evil concerning thee.”
24 But Zedekiah the_son_of Che- naanah went_near, and smote -Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way went the_Spirit_of Jthe Lorp from me to speak unto thee?” .
25 And Micaiah said, “Behold, thou sshalt_see in xthat xday, when thou shalt_go_into an inner chamber to hide_thyself.”
