2 Chronicles 18 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

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, the words ^H1697 of the prophets ^H5030 are [fn]unanimously ^H259 H6310 favorable ^H2896 to the king ^H4428. So please ^H4994 let your word ^H1697 be like 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 ^H4318, should we go ^H1980 to battle ^H4421 against ^H413 Ramoth-gilead ^H7433, or ^H518 should I refrain ^H2308?” He said ^H559, “Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 and succeed ^H6743, for they will be handed ^H5414 H3027 over ^H5414 to you!”

“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 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, “[fn]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 ^H413 Ramoth-gilead ^H7433.
