29 Do you see how Achav humbled himself before Me?
Because he humbled himself before Me, I will not bring
the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the
evil upon his bayit
22
And they continued three years without war between
Aram and Yisrael.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Yahushaphat
the melech of Yahudah came down to the melech of
Yisrael.
3 And the melech of Yisrael said to his avadim, You
know that Ramot in Gilad is ours, and we are silent, and
yet we do not take it away from the hand of the melech of
Aram?
4 And he said to Yahushaphat, Will you go with me to
battle to Ramot-Gilad? And Yahushaphat said to the
melech of Yisrael, I am as you are, my people as your
976 977
people, my horses as your horses.
5 And Yahushaphat said to the melech of Yisrael, Inquire,
for the word of vuvh today.
6 Then the melech of Yisrael gathered the neviim
together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall
I go against Ramot-Gilad to battle, or shall I refrain? And
they said, Go up; for vuvh shall deliver it into the hand of
the melech.
7 And Yahushaphat said, Is there not here a navi of vuvh
besides these that we might inquire of him also?
8 And the melech of Yisrael said to Yahushaphat, There
is yet one man, Michayah the son of Yimlah, by whom
we may inquire from vuvh: but I hate him; for he does not
prophesy tov concerning me, but only evil. And
Yahushaphat said, Let not the melech say so.
9 Then the melech of Yisrael called an officer, and said,
Hurry and bring here Micahyah the son of Yimlah.
10 And the melech of Yisrael and Yahushaphat the
melech of Yahudah sat each on his kesay, having put on
their robes, in a threshing floor at the entrance of the Gate
of Shomron; and all the neviim prophesied before them.
11 And Tzedkayahu the son of Kenaanah made horns of
iron: and he said, This says vuvh, With these shall you
push the Arameans, until you have consumed them.
12 And all the neviim prophesied the same, saying, Go up
to Ramot-Gilad, and prosper: for vuvh shall deliver it into
the melech's hand.
13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micahyah
spoke to him, saying, See now, the words of the neviim
declare tov to the melech with one accord: let your word,
I ask you, be like the words of one of them, and speak
that which is tov.
14 And Micayah said, As vuvh lives, what vuvh says to
me, that will I speak.
15 So he came to the melech. And the melech said to him,
Michayah, shall we go against Ramot-Gilad to battle, or
shall we refrain? And he answered him, Go, and prosper:
for vuvh shall deliver it into the hand of the melech.
16 And the melech said to him, How many times shall I
make you swear that you tell me nothing but that which is
emet in the Name of vuvh?
17 And he said, I saw kol Yisrael scattered upon the hills,
as sheep that have not a shepherd: and vuvh said, These
have no master: let them return every man to his bayit in
shalom.
18 And the melech of Yisrael said to Yahushaphat, Did I

not tell you that he would prophesy evil concerning me?
19 And he said, Hear therefore the word of vuvh: I saw
vuvh sitting on His kesay, and all the armies of the
shamayim standing by Him on His Right Hand and on His
left.
20 And vuvh said, Who shall persuade Achav, that he
may go up and fall at Ramot-Gilad? And one said one
thing, and another said another thing.
21 And there came forward a ruach, and stood before
vuvh, and said, I will entice him.
22 And vuvh said to him, In what way? And he said, I
will go out, and I will be a lying ruach in the mouth of all
his neviim. And He said, You shall persuade him, and
prevail also: go out, and do so.
23 Now therefore, see, vuvh has put a lying ruach in the
mouth of all these your neviim, but vuvh has spoken evil
concerning you.
24 But Tzedkayahu the son of Kenaanah went near, and
smote Michayah on the cheek, and said, Which way did
the Ruach of vuvh go from me to speak to you?
25 And Michayah said, See, you shall see in that day,
when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself.
26 And the melech of Yisrael said, Take Michayah, and
carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to
Yoash the melech's son,
27 And say, This says the melech, Put this fellow in the
prison, and feed him with the lechem of affliction and
with the mayim of affliction, until I come in shalom.
28 And Michayah said, If you return at all in shalom,
vuvh has not spoken by me. And he said, Listen, O
people, every one of you.
29 So the melech of Yisrael and Yahushaphat the melech
of Yahudah went up to Ramot-Gilad.
30 And the melech of Yisrael said to Yahushaphat, I will
disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but you put on
your robes. And the melech of Yisrael disguised himself,
and went into the battle.
31 But the melech of Aram commanded his thirty-two
captains that had rule over his mirkavot, saying, Fight
neither with small nor great, but only with the melech of
Yisrael.
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the mirkavot
saw Yahushaphat, that they said, Surely it is the melech
of Yisrael. And they turned aside to fight against him: and
Yahushaphat cried out.
33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the mirkavot
perceived that it was not the melech of Yisrael, they
turned back from pursuing him.
34 And a certain man drew a bow aimlessly, and smote
the melech of Yisrael between the armor and the
breastplate; therefore he said to the driver of his
mirkavah, Turn around, and carry me out of the battle; for
I am wounded.
35 And the battle increased that day: and the melech was
propped up in his mirkavah against the Arameans, and
died at evening: and the dahm ran out of the wound into
the midst of the mirkavah.
36 And there went a proclamation throughout the army at
sundown, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to
his own country.
37 So the melech died, and was brought to Shomron; and
they buried the melech in Shomron.
38 And one washed his mirkavah in the pool of Shomron;
