18:13. And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God
shall say to me, that will I speak.
18:14. So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall
we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear? And he answered him: Go up,
for all shall succeed prosperously, and the enemies shall be delivered
into your hands.
18:15. And the king said: I adjure thee again and again to say nothing
but the truth to me, in the name of the Lord.
18:16. Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like
sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let
every man return to his own house in peace.
18:17. And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee that
this man would not prophesy me any good, but evil?
18:18. Then he said: Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the
Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him
on the right hand and on the left,
18:19. And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that
he may go up and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And when one spoke in this
manner, and another otherwise:
Who shall deceive, etc... See the annotations, 3 Kings 22.
18:20. There came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I
will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means wilt thou
deceive him?
18:21. And he answered: I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the
mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive, and
shalt prevail: go out, and do so.
18:22. Now therefore behold the Lord hath put a spirit of lying in the
mouth of all thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
18:23. And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the
cheek and said: Which way went the spirit of the Lord from me, to speak
to thee?
18:24. And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou
shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself.
18:25. And the king of Israel commanded, saying: Take Micheas, and carry
him to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joas the son of Amelech,
18:26. And say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in prison, and give
him bread and water in a small quantity till I return in peace.
18:27. And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not
spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
18:28. So the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth
Galaad.
18:29. And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: I will change my dress,
and so I will go to the battle, but put thou on thy own garments. And
the king of Israel having changed his dress, went to the battle.
18:30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his cavalry,
saying: Fight ye not with small, or great, but with the king of Israel
only.
18:31. So when the captains of the cavalry saw Josaphat, they said: This
is the king of Israel. And they surrounded him to attack him: but he
cried to the Lord, and he helped him, and turned them away from him.
18:32. For when the captains of the cavalry saw, that he was not the
king of Israel, they left him.
18:33. And it happened that one of the people shot an arrow at a
venture, and struck the king of Israel between the neck and the
shoulders, and he said to his chariot man: Turn thy hand, and carry me
out of the battle, for I am wounded.
18:34. And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in
his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the
sunset.
