Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab. 2Ch 17:52Ch 21:62Ch 19:22Ki 8:181Ki 16:31-331Ki 21:252Ch 1:11-152Ch 17:12 After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead. 1Ki 1:92Ch 19:22Ki 9:11Ki 17:71Ki 22:2-351Ki 4:13Deu 4:43Isa 22:12-13 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” 1Ki 22:42Ki 3:72Jn 1:10-11Eph 5:11Psa 139:21
He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the LORD’s word.” Jer 21:21Sa 23:21Sa 23:41Sa 23:9-122Sa 2:12Sa 5:192Sa 5:231Ki 22:5-6
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” 1Ki 18:192Ch 18:142Ch 18:20-212Ki 3:132Ti 4:3Ezk 13:22Ezk 13:3-16Jer 23:14
They said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may inquire of him?” 1Ki 22:7-92Ki 3:11-13
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Amo 5:10Mic 2:71Ki 18:171Ki 21:20Isa 30:10Luk 6:221Ki 18:41Ki 19:10
Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.” 1Ch 28:11Ki 22:91Sa 8:152Ch 18:25-26Dan 1:3Dan 1:7-8Isa 39:7
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them. 1Ki 22:10-122Ch 18:29Dan 7:9Ezk 26:16Isa 14:9Jer 27:14-16Mat 11:8Mat 19:28 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “The LORD says, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’” 2Ti 3:8Ezk 13:7Ezk 22:28Jer 23:17Jer 23:21Jer 23:25Jer 23:31Jer 27:2
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.” 2Ch 18:122Ch 18:33-342Ch 18:52Pe 2:1-3Jud 1:16Mic 3:5Pro 24:24-25Rev 16:13-14
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.” 1Co 2:14-16Amo 7:13Hos 7:3Isa 30:10Job 22:13Jos 9:2Mic 2:11Mic 2:6
Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, I will say what my God says.” Num 22:35Num 22:18-20Num 24:131Co 11:231Ki 22:141Th 2:42Co 2:17Act 20:27
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” 1Ki 18:271Ki 22:15Amo 4:4-5Ecc 11:1Lam 4:21Mat 26:45
He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the LORD’s name?” 1Ki 22:161Sa 14:24Act 19:13Mat 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.’” Mat 9:361Ki 22:17Ezk 34:5-6Ezk 34:8Mrk 6:34Num 27:171Ki 22:34-362Ch 18:33-34
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?” 1Ki 22:182Ch 18:7Jer 43:2-3Pro 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 on his right hand and on his left. Dan 7:9Isa 6:1-51Ki 22:19-23Act 7:55-56Amo 7:16Gen 32:2Isa 39:5Jer 2:4 The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way. 1Ki 22:202Ch 25:192Ch 25:82Th 2:11-12Ezk 14:9Isa 54:16Isa 6:9-10Jas 1:13-14 A spirit came out, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ Job 1:62Co 11:13-152Co 11:3Job 2:1
“The LORD said to him, ‘How?’
“He said, ‘I will go, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ Jhn 8:441Ki 22:21-221Jn 4:62Ch 18:192Ch 18:22Gen 3:4-5Jdg 9:23Job 1:12
“He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go and do so.’
“Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.” Ezk 14:9Isa 19:14Job 12:161Ti 4:1-22Ch 18:172Ch 18:72Ch 25:182Co 11:11-13
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?” Mrk 14:65Jer 20:21Ki 22:23-252Ch 18:10Isa 50:5-6Jer 29:26-27Jhn 9:40-41Lam 3:30
Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.” 1Ki 20:30Isa 26:11Isa 26:20Jer 28:16-17Jer 29:21-22Jer 29:32
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; 2Ch 18:82Ch 34:8Act 24:25-27Jer 37:15-21Jer 38:6-7 and say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’” 2Ch 16:101Ki 22:26-281Sa 25:211Th 5:2-32Ch 18:152Co 11:23Act 22:22Act 5:18
Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you people, all of you!” Act 13:10-11Amo 9:10Luk 20:45-46Mat 13:9Mat 15:10Mic 1:2Mrk 7:14Num 16:29
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 1Ki 22:29-33 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 they went into the battle. 1Sa 28:81Ki 14:2-61Ki 20:382Ch 35:22-23Jer 23:24Job 24:15Pro 26:25Psa 12:2 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.” 1Ki 20:33-341Ki 20:422Ch 15:13Deu 1:17Gen 19:11
When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. 2Ch 13:14Psa 118:132Co 1:9-10Neh 1:11Pro 16:7Pro 21:1Psa 116:1-2Psa 34:7 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. 1Ki 22:33 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 the chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.” 1Ki 22:34-352Ch 35:232Sa 15:11 The battle increased that day. However, the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died. Pro 13:212Ch 18:162Ch 18:192Ch 18:27Num 32:23Pro 28:17
