8:24	who hasthave kept with ThyYour servant, my father David, that which ThouYou hasthave promised him; indeed, ThouYou hasthave spoken with ThyYour mouth and hasthave fulfilled it with ThyYour hand as it is this day.

8:32	then hear Thou in heaven and act and judge ThyYour servants, condemning the wicked by bringing his way on his own head and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.
8:33	When ThyYour people Israel are defeated before an enemy, because they have sinned against TheeYou, if they turn to TheeYou again and confess ThyYour name and pray and make supplication to TheeYou in this house,

8:52	that ThineYour eyes may be open to the supplication of ThyYour servant and to the supplication of ThyYour people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to TheeYou.

11:37	And I will take you, and you shall reign over whatever you desire, and you shall be king over Israel.
12:2	Now it came about when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, that he was living in Egypt for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon.
12:6	And King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, How do you counsel me to answer this people?
12:7	Then they spoke to him, saying, If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and grant them their petition, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.
12:10	AndThe the young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus you shall say to this people who spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, now you make it lighter for us! But you shall speak to them, My little finger is thicker than my fathers loins!
12:13	AndThe the king answered the people harshly, for he forsook the advice of the elders which they had given him,
12:20	AndIt it came about when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.
12:26	And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
12:29	AndHe he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.
12:32	And Jeroboam instituted a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast which is in Judah, and he went up to the altar; thus he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made. And he stationed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
12:33	Then he went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised in his own heart; and he instituted a feast for the sons of Israel, and went up to the altar to burn incense.
13:2	AndHe he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus says the Lord, Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.
13:4	Now it came about when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, Seize him. But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.
13:6	AndThe the king answered and said to the man of God, Please entreat the Lord your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. So the man of God entreated the Lord, and the kings hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.
13:10	So he went another way, and did not return by the way which he came to Bethel.
13:12	AndTheir their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone.
13:16	AndHe he said, I cannot return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
13:18	AndHe he said to him, I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.  But he lied to him.
13:23	AndIt it came about after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
13:28	AndHe he went and found his body thrown on the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside the body; the lion had not eaten the body nor torn the donkey.
13:29	So the prophet took up the body of the man of God and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back, and he came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him.
13:30	AndHe he laid his body in his own grave, and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
13:31	AndAfter it came about after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.
13:34	AndThis this event became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to blot it out and destroy it from off the face of the earth.
14:2	And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise now, and disguise yourself so that they maywill not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who spoke concerning me that I would be king over this people.
14:3	AndTake take ten loaves with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.
14:4	And Jeroboams wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.
14:6	AndWhen it came about when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming in the doorway, that he said, Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why do you pretend to be another woman? For I am sent to you with a harsh message.
14:8	and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you —yet you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only that which was right in My sight;
14:9	you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back—
14:12	Now you, arise, go to your house. When your feet enter the city the child will die.
14:13	AndAll all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboams family shallwill come to the grave, because in him something good was found toward the Lord God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14:14	Moreover, the Lord will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shallwill cut off the house of Jeroboam this day and from now on.
14:16	And He will give up Israel on account of the sins of Jeroboam, which he committed and with which he made Israel to sin.
14:18	AndAll all Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
14:20	AndThe the time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
14:22	And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they provoked Him to jealousy more than all that their fathers had done, with the sins which they committed.
14:24	AndThere there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the Lord dispossessed before the sons of Israel.
14:25	Now it camehappened about in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
14:26	AndHe he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the kings house, and he took everything, even taking all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
14:30	AndThere there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
14:31	And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his mothers name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son became king in his place.
15:3	AndHe he walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the Lord his God, like the heart of his father David.
15:6	AndThere there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
15:10	AndHe he reigned forty one years in Jerusalem; and his mothers name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
15:11	And Asa did what was right in the sight of the Lord, like David his father.
15:12	He also put away the male cult prostitutes from the land, and removed all the idols which his fathers had made.
15:13	AndHe he also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah; and Asa cut down her horrid image and burned it at the brook Kidron.
15:15	AndHe he brought into the house of the Lord the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver and gold and utensils.
15:17	And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.
15:21	AndWhen it came about when Baasha heard of it, that he ceased fortifying Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.
15:22	Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah —none was exempt —and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had built. And King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.
15:26	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and in his sin which he made Israel sin.
15:28	So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
15:29	AndIt it came about, as soon as he was king, he struck down all the household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam any persons alive, until he had destroyed them, according to the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
15:32	AndThere there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
15:34	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel sin.
16:4	Anyone of Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shallwill eat, and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens will eat.
16:9	AndHis his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was at Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household at Tirzah.
16:10	Then Zimri went in and struck him and put him to death, in the twenty seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.
16:11	AndIt it came about, when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave a single male, neither of his relatives nor of his friends.
16:16	AndThe the people who were camped heard it said, Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
16:17	Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.
16:18	AndWhen it came about, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the kings house and burned the kings house over him with fire, and died,
16:23	In the thirty first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and reigned twelve years; he reigned six years at Tirzah.
16:24	AndHe he bought the hill Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and named the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
16:25	And Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.
16:28	So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.
16:30	And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all who were before him.
16:31	AndIt it came about, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went to serve Baal and worshiped him.
16:32	So he erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria.
16:33	And Ahab also made the Asherah. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
17:2	AndThe the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
17:4	AndIt it shall be that you shallwill drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there.
17:6	AndThe the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the brook.
17:7	AndIt it happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
17:11	AndAs as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.
17:13	Then Elijah said to her, Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.
17:17	Now it came about after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe, that there was no breath left in him.
17:18	So she said to Elijah, What do I have to do with you, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my iniquity to remembrance, and to put my son to death!
17:19	AndHe he said to her, Give me your son. Then he took him from her bosom and carried him up to the upper room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.
17:20	AndHe he called to the Lord and said, O Lord my God, hasthave ThouYou also brought calamity to the widow with whom I am staying, by causing her son to die?
17:21	Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called to the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, I pray TheeYou, let this childs life return to him.
17:22	AndThe the Lord heard the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to him and he revived.
17:23	And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper room into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, your son is alive.
17:24	Then the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.
18:1	Now it camehappened about after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the face of the earth.
18:3	And Ahab called Obadiah who was over the household. Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly;
18:4	for it came about, when Jezebel destroyed the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water.
18:8	AndHe he said to him, It is I. Go, say to your master, Behold, Elijah is here.
18:9	AndHe he said, What sin have I committed, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
18:12	AndIt it will come about when I leave you that the Spirit of the Lord will carry you where I do not know; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the Lord from my youth.
18:14	And now you are saying, Go, say to your master, Behold, Elijah is here ; he will then kill me.
18:15	And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.
18:16	So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
18:17	AndWhen it came about, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is this you, you troubler of Israel?
18:18	AndHe he said, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your fathers house have, because you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and you have followed the Baals.
18:20	So Ahab sent a message among all the sons of Israel, and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel.
18:21	And Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him. But the people did not answer him a word.
18:23	Now let them give us two oxen; and let them choose one ox for themselves and cut it up, and place it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other ox, and lay it on the wood, and I will not put a fire under it.
18:24	Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord, and the God who answers by fire, He is God. And all the people answered and said, That is a good idea.
18:27	AndIt it came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened.
18:29	AndWhen it came about when midday was past, that they raved until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.
18:31	And Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, Israel shall be your name.
18:33	Then he arranged the wood and cut the ox in pieces and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.
18:34	And he said, Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood. And he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time. And he said, Do it a third time, and they did it a third time.
18:35	AndThe the water flowed around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.
18:36	ThenAt it came about at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that ThouYou artare God in Israel, and that I am ThyYour servant, and that I have done all these things at ThyYour word.
18:37	Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that ThouYou, O Lord, artare God, and that ThouYou hasthave turned their heart back again.
18:38	Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
18:39	AndWhen when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God.
18:42	So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
18:43	AndHe he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. So he went up and looked and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go back seven times.
18:44	AndIt it came about at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, a cloud as small as a mans hand is coming up from the sea. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.
18:45	SoIn it came about in a little while, that the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel.
19:5	AndHe he lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, there was an angel touching him, and he said to him, Arise, eat.
19:7	AndThe the angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said, Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you.
19:9	Then he came there to a cave, and lodged there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?
19:10	AndHe he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken ThyYour covenant, torn down ThineYour altars and killed ThyYour prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
19:11	So He said, Go forth, and stand on the mountain before the Lord. And behold, the Lord was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.
19:12	AndAfter after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing.
19:13	AndWhen it came about when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?
19:14	Then he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken ThyYour covenant, torn down ThineYour altars and killed ThyYour prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
19:15	AndThe the Lord said to him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and when you have arrived, you shall anoint Hazael king over Aram;
19:16	and Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of AbelmeholahAbel meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.
19:17	AndIt it shall come about, the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall put to death.
19:20	AndHe he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, Please let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you. And he said to him, Go back again, for what have I done to you?
20:1	Now Ben hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and there were thirty two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
20:2	Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says Ben hadad,
20:4	AndThe the king of Israel answered and saidreplied, It is according to your word, my Lord, O king; I am yours, and all that I have.
20:6	but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants; and it shall come about, whatever is desirable in your eyes, they will take in their hand and carry away.
20:8	AndAll all the elders and all the people said to him, Do not listen or consent.
20:10	And Ben hadad sent to him and said, May the gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria shallwill suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me.
20:11	Then the king of Israel answered and saidreplied, Tell him, Let not him who girds on his armor boast like him who takes it off.
20:12	AndWhen it came about when Ben hadad heard this message, as he was drinking with the kings in the temporary shelters, that he said to his servants, Station yourselves. So they stationed themselves against the city.
20:14	And Ahab said, By whom? So he said, Thus says the Lord, By the young men of the rulers of the provinces.  Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, You.
20:16	AndThey they went out at noon, while Ben hadad was drinking himself drunk in the temporary shelters with the thirty two kings who helped him.
20:17	AndThe the young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first; and Ben hadad sent out and they told him, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.
20:20	AndThey they killed each his man; and the Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them, and Ben hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
20:21	AndThe the king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
20:22	Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself and observe and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will come up against you.
20:23	Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we; but rather let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shallwill be stronger than they.
20:24	AndDo do this thing: remove the kings, each from his place, and put captains in their place,
20:25	and muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shallwill be stronger than they. And he listened to their voice and did so.
20:26	SoAt it came about at the turn of the year, that Ben hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
20:27	AndThe the sons of Israel were mustered and were provisioned and went to meet them; and the sons of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the country.
20:28	Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, Thus says the Lord, Because the Arameans have said, The Lord is a god of the mountains, but He is not a god of the valleys;, therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
20:29	So they camped one over against the other seven days. And it came about that on the seventh day, the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel killed of the Arameans 100,000 foot soldiers in one day.
20:31	AndHis his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings, please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save your life.
20:34	And Ben hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Ahab said, And I will let you go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
20:36	Then he said to him, Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you. And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him, and killed him.
20:39	AndAs as the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, Guard this man; if for any reason he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.
20:40	AndWhile while your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.
20:42	AndHe he said to him, Thus says the Lord, Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
21:1	Now it came about after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
21:2	And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden because it is close beside my house, and I will give you a better vineyard than it in its place; if you like, I will give you the price of it in money.
21:6	So he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in its place. But he said, I will not give you my vineyard.
21:7	And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now reign over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
21:9	Now she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and seat Naboth at the head of the people;
21:14	Then they sent word to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.
21:15	AndWhen it came about when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
21:16	AndWhen it came about when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
21:19	AndYou you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord, Have you murdered, and also taken possession?  And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth the dogs shallwill lick up your blood, even yours.
21:20	And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord.
21:23	AndOf of Jezebel also has the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shallwill eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.
21:24	The one belonging to Ahab, who dies in the city, the dogs shallwill eat, and the one who dies in the field the birds of heaven shallwill eat.
21:26	AndHe he acted very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord cast out before the sons of Israel.
21:27	AndIt it came about when Ahab heard these words, that he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went about despondently.
22:1	AndThree three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
22:2	AndIn it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
22:7	But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not yet a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of him?
22:8	AndThe the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. He is Micaiah son of Imlah. But Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
22:11	Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shallwill gore the Arameans until they are consumed.
22:12	AndAll all the prophets were prophesying thus, saying, Go up to Ramoth gilead and prosper, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.
22:14	But Micaiah said, As the Lord lives, what the Lord says to me, that I willshall speak.
22:19	And Micaiah said, Therefore, hear the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
22:20	AndThe the Lord said, Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth gilead? And one said this while another said that.
22:22	AndThe the Lord said to him, How? And he said, I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. Then He said, You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.
22:25	And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself.
22:27	and say, Thus says the king, Put this man in prison, and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely.
22:28	And Micaiah said, If you indeed return safely the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Listen, all you people.
22:30	AndThe the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
22:32	So it came about, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel, and they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.
22:33	ThenWhen it happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
22:34	Now a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel in a joint of the armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn around, and take me out of the fight; for I am severely wounded.
22:35	AndThe the battle raged that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot in front of the Arameans, and died at evening, and the blood from the wound ran into the bottom of the chariot.
22:38	AndThey they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood now the harlots bathed themselves there, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke.
22:43	AndHe he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the Lord. However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
22:46	AndThe the remnant of the sodomites who remained in the days of his father Asa, he expelled from the land.
22:52	AndHe he did evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
22:53	So he served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done.
