24

But Zedekiahh6667 the sonh1121 of Chenaanahh3668 went nearh5066h8799, and smoteh5221h8686 Micaiahh4321 on the cheekh3895, and saidh559h8799, Which wayh335 wenth5674h8804 the Spirith7307 of the LORDh3068 from me to speakh1696h8763 unto thee?

25

And Micaiahh4321 saidh559h8799, Behold, thou shalt seeh7200h8802 in that dayh3117, when thou shalt goh935h8799 into an innerh2315 chamberh2315 to hideh2247h8736 thyself. into...: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber

And sayh559h8804, Thus saithh559h8804 the kingh4428, Puth7760h8798 this fellow in the prisonh1004h3608, and feedh398h8685 him with breadh3899 of afflictionh3906 and with waterh4325 of afflictionh3906, until I comeh935h8800 in peaceh7965.

28

And Micaiahh4321 saidh559h8799, If thou returnh7725h8799 at allh7725h8800 in peaceh7965, the LORDh3068 hath not spokenh1696h8765 by me. And he saidh559h8799, Hearkenh8085h8798, O peopleh5971, every one of you.

29

So the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 and Jehoshaphath3092 the kingh4428 of Judahh3063 went uph5927h8799 to Ramothgileadh7433h1568.

30

And the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 saidh559h8799 unto Jehoshaphath3092, I will disguiseh2664h8692 myself, and enterh935h8800 into the battleh4421; but put thou onh3847h8798 thy robesh899.

But the kingh4428 of Syriah758 commandedh6680h8765 his thirtyh7970 and twoh8147 captainsh8269 that had rule over his chariotsh7393, sayingh559h8800, Fighth3898h8735 neither with smallh6996 nor greath1419, save only with the kingh4428 of Israelh3478.

32

And it came to pass, when the captainsh8269 of the chariotsh7393 sawh7200h8800 Jehoshaphath3092, that they saidh559h8804, Surely it is the kingh4428 of Israelh3478. And they turned asideh5493h8799 to fighth3898h8736 against him: and Jehoshaphath3092 cried outh2199h8799.

33

And it came to pass, when the captainsh8269 of the chariotsh7393 perceivedh7200h8800 that it was not the kingh4428 of Israelh3478, that they turned backh7725h8799 from pursuingh310 him.

34

And a certain manh376 drewh4900h8804 a bowh7198 at a ventureh8537, and smoteh5221h8686 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 between the jointsh1694 of the harnessh8302: wherefore he saidh559h8799 unto the driver of his charioth7395, Turnh2015h8798 thine handh3027, and carry me outh3318h8685 of the hosth4264; for I am woundedh2470h8717. at a...: Heb. in his simplicity

35

And the battleh4421 increasedh5927h8799 that dayh3117: and the kingh4428 was stayed uph5975h8716 in his charioth4818 againsth5227 the Syriansh758, and diedh4191h8799 at evenh6153: and the bloodh1818 ran outh3332h8799 of the woundh4347 into the midsth2436 of the charioth7393. increased: Heb. ascended

36

And there wenth5674h8799 a proclamationh7440 throughout the hosth4264 about the going downh935h8800 of the sunh8121, sayingh559h8800, Every manh376 to his cityh5892, and every manh376 to his own countryh776.

37

So the kingh4428 diedh4191h8799, and was broughth935h8799 to Samariah8111; and they buriedh6912h8799 the kingh4428 in Samariah8111. was brought: Heb. came

38

And one washedh7857h8799 the charioth7393 in the poolh1295 of Samariah8111; and the dogsh3611 licked uph3952h8799 his bloodh1818; and they washedh7364h8804 his armourh2185; according unto the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 which he spakeh1696h8765.

39

Now the resth3499 of the actsh1697 of Ahabh256, and all that he didh6213h8804, and the ivoryh8127 househ1004 which he madeh1129h8804, and all the citiesh5892 that he builth1129h8804, are they not writtenh3789h8803 in the bookh5612 of the chroniclesh1697h3117 of the kingsh4428 of Israelh3478?

40

So Ahabh256 slepth7901h8799 with his fathersh1; and Ahaziahh274 his sonh1121 reignedh4427h8799 in his stead.

41

And Jehoshaphath3092 the sonh1121 of Asah609 began to reignh4427h8804 over Judahh3063 in the fourthh702 yearh8141 of Ahabh256 kingh4428 of Israelh3478.

42

Jehoshaphath3092 was thirtyh7970 and fiveh2568 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he began to reignh4427h8800; and he reignedh4427h8804 twentyh6242 and fiveh2568 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389. And his mother'sh517 nameh8034 was Azubahh5806 the daughterh1323 of Shilhih7977.

43

And he walkedh3212h8799 in all the waysh1870 of Asah609 his fatherh1; he turned not asideh5493h8804 from it, doingh6213h8800 that which was righth3477 in the eyesh5869 of the LORDh3068: nevertheless the high placesh1116 were not taken awayh5493h8804; for the peopleh5971 offeredh2076h8764 and burnt incenseh6999h8764 yet in the high placesh1116.

44

And Jehoshaphath3092 made peaceh7999h8686 with the kingh4428 of Israelh3478.

45

Now the resth3499 of the actsh1697 of Jehoshaphath3092, and his mighth1369 that he shewedh6213h8804, and how he warredh3898h8738, are they not writtenh3789h8803 in the bookh5612 of the chroniclesh1697h3117 of the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063?

46

And the remnanth3499 of the sodomitesh6945, which remainedh7604h8738 in the daysh3117 of his fatherh1 Asah609, he tookh1197h8765 out of the landh776.

47

There was then no kingh4428 in Edomh123: a deputyh5324h8737 was kingh4428.

48

Jehoshaphath3092 madeh6213h8804h8675h6240 shipsh591 of Tharshishh8659 to goh3212h8800 to Ophirh211 for goldh2091: but they wenth1980h8804 not; for the shipsh591 were brokenh7665h8738 at Eziongeberh6100. made...: or, had ten ships

49

Then saidh559h8804 Ahaziahh274 the sonh1121 of Ahabh256 unto Jehoshaphath3092, Let my servantsh5650 goh3212h8799 with thy servantsh5650 in the shipsh591. But Jehoshaphath3092 wouldh14h8804 not.

50

And Jehoshaphath3092 slepth7901h8799 with his fathersh1, and was buriedh6912h8735 with his fathersh1 in the cityh5892 of Davidh1732 his fatherh1: and Jehoramh3088 his sonh1121 reignedh4427h8799 in his stead.

51

Ahaziahh274 the sonh1121 of Ahabh256 began to reignh4427h8804 over Israelh3478 in Samariah8111 the seventeenthh7651h6240 yearh8141 of Jehoshaphath3092 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, and reignedh4427h8799 two yearsh8141 over Israelh3478.

52

And he didh6213h8799 evilh7451 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, and walkedh3212h8799 in the wayh1870 of his fatherh1, and in the wayh1870 of his motherh517, and in the wayh1870 of Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028, who made Israelh3478 to sinh2398h8689:

53

For he servedh5647h8799 Baalh1168, and worshippedh7812h8691 him, and provoked to angerh3707h8686 the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478, according to all that his fatherh1 had doneh6213h8804.
