2 Paralipomenon Chapter 18
Josaphat accompanies Achab in his expedition against Ramoth; where Achab
is slain, as Micheas had foretold.
18:1. Now Josaphat was rich and very glorious, and was joined by
affinity to Achab.
18:2. And he went down to him after some years to Samaria: and Achab at
his coming killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people
that came with him: and he persuaded him to go up to Ramoth Galaad.
18:3. And Achab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda: Come with
me to Ramoth Galaad. And he answered him: Thou art as I am, and my
people as thy people, and we will be with thee in the war.
18:4. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee,
at present the word of the Lord.
18:5. So the king of Israel gathered together of the prophets four
hundred men, and he said to them: Shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight,
or shall we forbear? But they said: Go up, and God will deliver into the
king's hand.
18:6. And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that
we may inquire also of him?
18:7. And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man, of whom
we may ask the will of the Lord: but I hate him, for he never
prophesieth good to me, but always evil: and it is Micheas the son of
Jemla. And Josaphat said: Speak not thus, O king.
18:8. And the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him:
Call quickly Micheas the son of Jemla.
18:9. Now the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, both sat on
their thrones, clothed in royal robes, and they sat in the open court by
the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
18:10. And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made him horns of iron, and
said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou
destroy it.
18:11. And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up
to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them
into the king's hand.
18:12. And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold
the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I
beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak
thou also good success.
