They continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. 1Ki 20:34 In the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. 1Ki 15:241Ki 22:11Ki 22:411Ki 22:442Ch 18:1-272Ki 8:18Mat 12:40Mat 16:21 The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we do nothing, and don’t take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?” Deu 4:431Ki 4:13Jos 21:382Sa 19:10Jdg 16:2Jos 20:8 He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” 2Ki 3:7Eph 5:111Co 15:332Ch 18:32Ch 19:22Jn 1:11Pro 13:20Psa 139:21-22
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the LORD’s word.” Pro 3:5-62Ch 18:4-52Ki 3:11Jer 21:2Jer 42:2-6Ezk 20:1-3Num 27:211Ch 10:13
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I refrain?” 1Ki 18:19Jer 23:14-17Ezk 13:22Ezk 13:7-161Ki 22:151Ki 22:22-232Ch 18:142Pe 2:1-3
They said, “Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of him?” 2Ch 18:6-72Ki 3:11-13
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Amo 5:10Jhn 17:14Jhn 3:19-21Jhn 7:7Gal 4:16Jer 38:4Jhn 15:18-19Mic 2:7
Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah.” 1Ki 22:26-272Ch 18:82Ki 9:32Dan 1:18Isa 39:7
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them. 1Ki 18:291Ki 22:301Ki 22:62Ch 18:9-11Act 12:21Act 25:23Est 5:1Est 6:8-9 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, “The LORD says, ‘With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’” Zec 1:18-21Deu 33:172Co 11:13-152Ti 3:8Act 19:13-16Ezk 13:6-9Ezk 22:27-28Jer 23:17 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.” 1Ki 22:32-361Ki 22:6-152Ch 35:22
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.” 1Co 2:14-16Amo 7:13-17Hos 7:3Isa 30:10-11Mic 2:11Mic 2:6-7Psa 10:11Psa 11:1
Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak.” Num 24:132Ch 18:12-13Ezk 3:17-19Jer 26:2-3Num 22:18Num 22:381Ki 18:101Ki 18:15
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” 1Ki 18:272Ch 18:142Ki 3:13Ecc 11:9Jdg 10:14Mat 26:45
He answered him, “Go up and prosper; and the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the LORD’s name?” 1Sa 14:242Ch 18:15Act 19:13Jer 42:3-6Jos 6:26Mat 22:16-17Mat 26:63Mrk 5:7
He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’” Num 27:17Mat 9:361Ki 22:34-362Ch 18:16-17Act 10:11-17Ezk 34:4-6Jer 50:17Jer 50:6
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?” 1Ki 22:8Luk 11:45Pro 10:24Pro 27:22Pro 29:1
Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the LORD’s word. I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. Job 2:1Job 1:6Dan 7:9-10Isa 6:1-3Mat 18:10Psa 103:20-212Ch 18:18-22Ezk 1:26-28 The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing, and another said another. Ezk 14:9Job 12:16Jer 4:10
A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ 1Ki 22:23Job 1:6-7Job 2:1
The LORD said to him, ‘How?’ Jdg 9:231Sa 16:141Sa 19:91Ki 22:201Sa 18:102Th 2:9-12Ezk 14:9Job 1:8-11
He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’
He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’ Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.” Ezk 14:9Isa 6:9-10Mat 24:24-252Ch 25:16Isa 3:11Isa 44:201Ki 20:42Deu 2:30
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the LORD’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?” Act 23:2Lam 3:30Mic 5:11Ki 22:112Ch 18:23-24Isa 50:5-6Jer 28:10-11Jer 29:26-27
Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.” 1Ki 20:302Pe 2:1Rev 19:20Amo 7:17Isa 9:14-16Jer 23:15Jer 28:16-17Jer 29:21-22
The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son. Say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’” 2Ch 16:102Ch 18:25-27Rev 2:101Th 5:2-3Act 16:23-24Act 26:10Act 5:18Deu 16:3
Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!” Mic 1:2Num 16:29Act 13:10-11Mrk 12:371Ki 18:21-241Ki 18:36-372Ch 18:272Ki 1:10
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 1Ki 22:2-92Ch 18:28 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes.” The king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle. 2Ch 35:221Sa 28:8Jer 23:241Ki 14:21Ki 20:381Ki 22:102Ch 18:292Sa 14:2
Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.” 1Ki 20:242Ch 18:30Jer 16:61Ki 20:11Ki 20:161Ki 20:33-421Sa 30:2Gen 19:11
When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they came over to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out. Jon 2:1-2Pro 13:202Ch 18:31Exo 14:10Psa 116:1-2Psa 130:1-4Psa 50:15Psa 91:15 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. Psa 76:101Ki 22:31 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around, and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.” 2Ch 35:23Mic 6:131Sa 17:49Rev 9:92Ch 18:302Ki 9:242Sa 15:11 The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot. 1Ki 22:281Ki 20:42 A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!” 2Ki 14:121Ki 12:161Ki 12:241Ki 22:171Ki 22:311Sa 4:102Sa 19:8Jdg 21:24
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke. 1Ki 21:19Mat 24:35Isa 44:25-26Isa 48:3-5Jer 44:21-23Jos 23:14-15Zec 1:4-6
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? Amo 3:151Ki 10:181Ki 10:221Ki 14:191Ki 15:231Ki 15:311Ki 16:201Ki 16:27 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. 1Ki 11:211Ki 14:311Ki 2:101Ki 22:512Ch 20:352Ki 1:172Ki 1:22Sa 7:12
Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 2Ch 20:311Ch 3:101Ki 22:22Ch 17:1 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 1Ki 14:211Ki 15:101Ki 15:22Ki 1:172Ki 8:16 He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 1Ki 15:142Ki 12:3Pro 4:271Ki 14:231Ki 15:111Ki 15:51Sa 12:20-212Ch 14:11 Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. 1Ki 22:22Ch 19:22Ki 8:182Ch 21:62Co 6:14
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he fought, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 1Ki 11:411Ki 14:292Ch 20:34 The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land. 1Ki 14:241Ki 15:12Deu 23:17Gen 19:5Jud 1:71Co 6:91Ti 1:10Jdg 19:22 There was no king in Edom. A deputy ruled. 2Ki 3:92Sa 8:142Ki 8:20Gen 27:40Gen 25:23Gen 36:31-43Psa 108:9-10 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they didn’t go, for the ships wrecked at Ezion Geber. 1Ki 10:221Ki 9:261Ki 9:282Ch 20:212Ch 20:35-372Ch 25:72Ch 9:21Isa 2:16 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not. Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 2Ch 21:11Ki 11:431Ki 14:311Ki 15:241Ki 2:101Ki 22:402Ch 21:5-72Ki 8:16-18
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. 1Ki 15:251Ki 22:402Ki 1:17 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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, in which he made Israel to sin. 1Ki 15:261Ki 21:251Ki 12:28-331Ki 14:9-161Ki 15:341Ki 16:30-332Ch 22:32Ki 1:2-7 He served Baal and worshiped him, and provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger in all the ways that his father had done so. 1Ki 16:30-321Ki 16:71Ki 21:292Ki 1:22Ki 3:2Ezk 18:14-18Ezk 8:3Isa 65:3
