2 Chronicles 18:23-34

18:23

Then Zedekiah
<06667>

the son
<01121>

of Chenaanah
<03668>

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Micaiah
<04321>

upon the cheek
<03895>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Which
<0335>

way
<01870>

went
<05674> (8804)

the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

from me to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto thee?

18:24

And Micaiah
<04321>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, thou shalt see
<07200> (8802)

on that day
<03117>

when thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)

into an inner
<02315>

chamber
<02315>

to hide
<02244> (8736)

thyself. {into...: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. a chamber in a chamber}

18:25

Then the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

ye Micaiah
<04321>_,

and carry him back
<07725> (8685)

to Amon
<0526>

the governor
<08269>

of the city
<05892>_,

and to Joash
<03101>

the king's
<04428>

son
<01121>_;

18:26

And say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

Put
<07760> (8798)

this [fellow] in the prison
<01004> <03608>_,

and feed
<0398> (8685)

him with bread
<03899>

of affliction
<03906>

and with water
<04325>

of affliction
<03906>_,

until I return
<07725> (8800)

in peace
<07965>_.

18:27

And Micaiah
<04321>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If thou certainly
<07725> (8800)

return
<07725> (8799)

in peace
<07965>_,

[then] hath not the LORD
<03068>

spoken
<01696> (8765)

by me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)_,

all ye people
<05971>_.

18:28

So the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

went up
<05927> (8799)

to Ramothgilead
<07433> <01568>_.

18:29

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

I will disguise
<02664> (8692)

myself, and will go
<0935> (8800)

to the battle
<04421>_;

but put
<03847> (8798)

thou on thy robes
<0899>_.

So the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

disguised
<02664> (8691)

himself; and they went
<0935> (8799)

to the battle
<04421>_.

18:30

Now the king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

the captains
<08269>

of the chariots
<07393>

that [were] with him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Fight
<03898> (8735)

ye not with small
<06996>

or great
<01419>_,

save only with the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

18:31

And it came to pass, when the captains
<08269>

of the chariots
<07393>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Jehoshaphat
<03092>_,

that they said
<0559> (8804)_,

It [is] the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

Therefore they compassed about
<05437> (8799)

him to fight
<03898> (8736)_:

but Jehoshaphat
<03092>

cried out
<02199> (8799)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

helped
<05826> (8804)

him; and God
<0430>

moved
<05496> (8686)

them [to depart] from him.

18:32

For it came to pass, that, when the captains
<08269>

of the chariots
<07393>

perceived
<07200> (8800)

that it was not the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

they turned back again
<07725> (8799)

from pursuing
<0310>

him. {from...: Heb. from after him}

18:33

And a [certain] man drew
<04900> (8804)

a bow
<07198>

at a venture
<08537>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

between the joints
<01694>

of the harness
<08302>_:

therefore he said
<0559> (8799)

to his chariot
<07395>

man
<0376>_,

Turn
<02015> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>_,

that thou mayest carry me out
<03318> (8689)

of the host
<04264>_;

for I am wounded
<02470> (8717)_.

{at a venture: Heb. in his simplicity} {between...: Heb. between the joints and between the breastplate} {wounded: Heb. made sick}

18:34

And the battle
<04421>

increased
<05927> (8799)

that day
<03117>_:

howbeit the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

stayed [himself] up
<05975> (8689)

in [his] chariot
<04818>

against
<05227>

the Syrians
<0758>

until the even
<06153>_:

and about the time
<06256>

of the sun
<08121>

going down
<0935> (8800)

he died
<04191> (8799)_.
