| [1]NOW Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he made an alliance with Ahab. |
[1]Fuit ergo Josaphat dives et inclytus multum, et affinitate conjunctus est Achab. |
| [2]And after two years he went down to Ahab in Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the armed forces that were with him, and advised him to go up to Ramath-gilead. |
[2]Descenditque post annos ad eum in Samariam: ad cujus adventum mactavit Achab arietes, et boves plurimos ipsi, et populo qui venerat cum eo: persuasitque illi ut ascenderet in Ramoth Galaad. |
| [3]And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will you go up with me to Ramath-gilead? And he answered him, I will go up as you do; and my people are as your people; and my horses as your horses, and we will go with you to war |
[3]Dixitque Achab rex Israël ad Josaphat regem Juda: Veni mecum in Ramoth Galaad. Cui ille respondit: Ut ego, et tu: sicut populus tuus, sic et populus meus: tecumque erimus in bello. |
| [4]And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray, for the word of the LORD today. |
[4]Dixitque Josaphat ad regem Israël: Consule, obsecro, impræsentiarum sermonem Domini. |
| [5]Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of the prophets four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramath-gilead to battle or shall I forbear? And they said to him, Go up; for the LORD will deliver your enemies into your hands. |
[5]Congregavit igitur rex Israël prophetarum quadringentos viros, et dixit ad eos: In Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum ire debemus, an quiescere? At illi, Ascende, inquiunt, et tradet Deus in manu regis. |
| [6]But King Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a true prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of him? |
[6]Dixitque Josaphat: Numquid non est hic prophetes Domini, ut ab illo etiam requiramus? |
| [7]And 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. His name is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. |
[7]Et ait rex Israël ad Josaphat: Est vir unus, a quo possumus quærere Domini voluntatem: sed ego odi eum, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed malum omni tempore: est autem Michæas filius Jemla. Dixitque Josaphat: Ne loquaris rex hoc modo. |
| [8]And the king of Israel called for one of the officers and said to him, Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. |
[8]Vocavit ergo rex Israël unum de eunuchis, et dixit ei: Voca cito Michæam filium Jemla. |
| [9]And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each man on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the false prophets were prophesying before them. |
[9]Porro rex Israël, et Josaphat rex Juda, uterque sedebant in solio suo, vestiti cultu regio: sedebant autem in area juxta portam Samariæ, omnesque prophetæ vaticinabantur coram eis. |
| [10]And Zedekiah the son of a Canaanitish woman had made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus says the LORD: With these you shall pierce the Arameans until they are cut off and destroyed. |
[10]Sedecias vero filius Chanaana fecit sibi cornua ferrea, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: His ventilabis Syriam, donec conteras eam. |
| [11]And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramath-gilead, and triumph: for the LORD will deliver your enemies into your hands, O king. |
[11]Omnesque prophetæ similiter prophetabant, atque dicebant: Ascende in Ramoth Galaad, et prosperaberis, et tradet eos Dominus in manu regis. |
| [12]And the messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the false prophets have declared good to the king with one accord; let your words, therefore, be pleasant like one of theirs, and you also prophesy good. |
[12]Nuntius autem, qui ierat ad vocandum Michæam, ait illi: En verba omnium prophetarum uno ore bona regi annuntiant: quæso ergo te ut et sermo tuus ab eis non dissentiat, loquarisque prospera. |
| [13]And Micaiah said, As the LORD God lives, what my God puts into my heart, that will I speak. |
[13]Cui respondit Michæas: Vivit Dominus, quia quodcumque dixerit mihi Deus meus, hoc loquar. |
| [14]And when he was come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramath-gilead or shall I forbear? And he said to him, Go up and triumph, and they shall be delivered into your hands. |
[14]Venit ergo ad regem. Cui rex ait: Michæa, ire debemus in Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum, an quiescere? Cui ille respondit: Ascendite: cuncta enim prospera evenient, et tradentur hostes in manus vestras. |
| [15]And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD? |
[15]Dixitque rex: Iterum, atque iterum te adjuro, ut mihi non loquaris, nisi quod verum est in nomine Domini. |
| [16]Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains as sheep that have no shepherd; and the LORD said, These have no king; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. |
[16]At ille ait: Vidi universum Israël dispersum in montibus, sicut oves absque pastore: et dixit Dominus: Non habent isti dominos: revertatur unusquisque in domum suam in pace. |
| [17]And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil? |
[17]Et ait rex Israël ad Josaphat: Nonne dixi tibi, quod non prophetaret iste mihi quidquam boni, sed ea quæ mala sunt? |
| [18]Then Micaiah said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. |
[18]At ille, Idcirco, ait, audite verbum Domini: vidi Dominum sedentem in solio suo, et omnem exercitum cæli assistentem ei a dextris et a sinistris. |
| [19]And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and be slain at Ramath-gilead? And one said, I will entice him after this manner, and another said, I will entice him after that manner. |
[19]Et dixit Dominus: Quis decipiet Achab regem Israël ut ascendat et corruat in Ramoth Galaad? Cumque diceret unus hoc modo, et alter alio, |
| [20]Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD and said, I will entice him, and the LORD said to him, With what? |
[20]processit spiritus, et stetit coram Domino, et ait: Ego decipiam eum. Cui Dominus, In quo, inquit, decipies? |
| [21]And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, You shall entice him, and you shall also prevail; go out, and do according to what you have said. |
[21]At ille respondit: Egrediar, et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum ejus. Dixitque Dominus: Decipies, et prævalebis: egredere, et fac ita. |
| [22]Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the LORD has decreed evil against you. |
[22]Nunc igitur, ecce Dominus dedit spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum, et Dominus locutus est de te mala. |
| [23]Then Zedekiah the son of the Canaanitish woman came near and struck Micaiah on his cheek, and said to him, Since when did the Spirit of the LORD depart from me to speak to you? |
[23]Accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaana, et percussit Michææ maxillam, et ait: Per quam viam transivit spiritus Domini a me, ut loqueretur tibi? |
| [24]And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself. |
[24]Dixitque Michæas: Tu ipse videbis in die illo, quando ingressus fueris cubiculum de cubiculo ut abscondaris. |
| [25]Then the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back and detain him in the house of Amon the governor of the city and in the house of Joash the king's son; |
[25]Præcepit autem rex Israël, dicens: Tollite Michæam, et ducite eum ad Amon principem civitatis, et ad Joas filium Amelech. |
| [26]And say, Thus says the king: Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction until I return in peace. |
[26]Et dicetis: Hæc dicit rex: Mittite hunc in carcerem, et date ei panis modicum, et aquæ pauxillum, donec revertar in pace. |
| [27]And Micaiah said, If you certainly return in peace, then the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all you people |
[27]Dixitque Michæas: Si reversus fueris in pace, non est locutus Dominus in me. Et ait: Audite, omnes populi. |
| [28]So Jehoshaphat the king of Judah and Ahab the king of Israel went up to Ramath-gilead. |
[28]Igitur ascenderunt rex Israël et Josaphat rex Juda in Ramoth Galaad. |
| [29]And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will put on my armor, and go and stand in the battle array; and you put on your armor. So the king of Israel put on his armor, and went and stood in the battle array. |
[29]Dixitque rex Israël ad Josaphat: Mutabo habitum, et sic ad pugnam vadam: tu autem induere vestibus tuis. Mutatoque rex Israël habitu, venit ad bellum. |
| [30]Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, thirty-two in number, saying, Fight not with small or great, but only with the king of Israel. |
[30]Rex autem Syriæ præceperat ducibus equitatus sui, dicens: Ne pugnetis contra minimum, aut contra maximum, nisi contra solum regem Israël. |
| [31]And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they came against him to fight him; but Jehoshaphat cried out and the LORD helped him; and he turned them away from him. |
[31]Itaque cum vidissent principes equitatus Josaphat, dixerunt: Rex Israël est iste. Et circumdederunt eum dimicantes: at ille clamavit ad Dominum, et auxiliatus est ei, atque avertit eos ab illo. |
| [32]And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. |
[32]Cum enim vidissent duces equitatus, quod non esset rex Israël, reliquerunt eum. |
| [33]And a certain man shot an arrow unwittingly towards him, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of his breastplate; therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn your hand and carry me out of the host; for I am grievously wounded. |
[33]Accidit autem ut unus e populo sagittam in incertum jaceret, et percuteret regem Israël inter cervicem et scapulas. At ille aurigæ suo ait: Converte manum tuam, et educ me de acie, quia vulneratus sum. |
| [34]And the battle grew fiercer that day; but the king of Israel was seated in the chariot fighting against the Arameans until the evening, and at sunset he died |
[34]Et finita est pugna in die illo: porro rex Israël stabat in curru suo contra Syros usque ad vesperam, et mortuus est occidente sole. |
