I - Chapter 22

1There was a lull of three years, with no war between Aram and Yisrael.

2In the third year, King Yehoshafat of Yehuda came to visit the king of Yisrael.

3The king of Yisrael said to his courtiers, “You know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and yet we do nothing to recover it from the hands of the king of Aram.”

vai-YO-mer me-lekh yis-ra-AYL el a-va-DAV: ha-ya-da-TEM kee-la-NU ra-MOT gil-AD, va-a-NAKH-nu ma-KH'-shim mi-ka-KHAT o-TAH mi-YAD me-lekh a-RAM

4And he said to Yehoshafat, “Will you come with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?” Yehoshafat answered the king of Yisrael, “I will do what you do; my troops shall be your troops, my horses shall be your horses.”

vai-YO-mer el y'-ho-SHA-fat, ha-t'-LEKH i-TI la-mil-KHA-mah ra-MOT gil-AD, vai-YO-mer y'-ho-SHA-fat el me-LEKH yis-ra-AYL: ka-MO-nee ka-MO-kha, k'-a-MEE k'-a-ME-kha, k'-su-SA-y k'-su-SE-kha.

5But Yehoshafat said further to the king of Yisrael, “Please, first inquire of Hashem.”

6So the king of Yisrael gathered the Neviim, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Shall I march upon Ramoth-gilead for battle, or shall I not?” “March,” they said, “and Hashem will deliver [it] into Your Majesty's hands.”

7Then Yehoshafat asked, “Isn't there another Navi of Hashem here through whom we can inquire?”

8And the king of Yisrael answered Yehoshafat, “There is one more man through whom we can inquire of Hashem; but I hate him, because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only misfortune—Michaihu son of Imlah.” But King Yehoshafat said, “Don't say that, Your Majesty.”

9So the king of Yisrael summoned an officer and said, “Bring Michaihu son of Imlah at once.”

10The king of Yisrael and King Yehoshafat of Yehuda were seated on their thrones, arrayed in their robes, on the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Shomron; and all the Neviim were prophesying before them.

11Tzidkiyahu son of Chenaanah had provided himself with iron horns; and he said, “Thus said Hashem: With these you shall gore the Arameans till you make an end of them.”

12And all the other Neviim were prophesying similarly, “March upon Ramoth-gilead and triumph! Hashem will deliver it into Your Majesty's hands.”

13The messenger who had gone to summon Michaihu said to him: “Look, the words of the Neviim are with one accord favorable to the king. Let your word be like that of the rest of them; speak a favorable word.”

14“As Hashem lives,” Michaihu answered, “I will speak only what Hashem tells me.”

15When he came before the king, the king said to him, “Michaihu, shall we march upon Ramoth-gilead for battle, or shall we not?” He answered him, “March and triumph! Hashem will deliver [it] into Your Majesty's hands.”

16The king said to him, “How many times must I adjure you to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Hashem?”

17Then he said, “I saw all Yisrael scattered over the hills like sheep without a shepherd; and Hashem said, ‘These have no master; let everyone return to his home in safety.'”

18“Didn't I tell you,” said the king of Yisrael to Yehoshafat, “that he would not prophesy good fortune for me, but only misfortune?”

19But [Michaihu] said, “I call upon you to hear the word of Hashem! I saw Hashem seated upon His throne, with all the host of heaven standing in attendance to the right and to the left of Him.

20Hashem asked, ‘Who will entice Achav so that he will march and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' Then one said thus and another said thus,

21until a certain spirit came forward and stood before Hashem and said, ‘I will entice him.' ‘How?' Hashem asked him.

22And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his Neviim.' Then He said, ‘You will entice and you will prevail. Go out and do it.'

24Thereupon Tzidkiyahu son of Chenaanah stepped up and struck Michaihu on the cheek, and demanded, “Which way did the spirit of Hashem pass from me to speak with you?”

25And Michaihu replied, “You'll find out on the day when you try to hide in the innermost room.”

26Then the king of Yisrael said, “Take Michaihu and turn him over to Ammon, the city's governor, and to Prince Yoash,

27and say, ‘The king's orders are: Put this fellow in prison, and let his fare be scant bread and scant water until I come home safe.'”

28To which Michaihu retorted, “If you ever come home safe, Hashem has not spoken through me.” He said further, “Listen, all you peoples!”

29So the king of Yisrael and King Yehoshafat of Yehuda marched upon Ramoth-gilead.

30The king of Yisrael said to Yehoshafat, “Disguise yourself and go into the battle; but you, wear your robes.” So the king of Yisrael went into the battle disguised.

31Now the king of Aram had instructed his thirty-two chariot officers: “Don't attack anyone, small or great, except the king of Yisrael.”

32So when the chariot officers saw Yehoshafat, whom they took for the king of Yisrael, they turned upon him to attack him, and Yehoshafat cried out.

vai-YA-hee kir-OT sa-RAY ha-RE-khev et y'-ho-SHA-fat, v'-HEM-a a-M'-RU: akh me-LEKH yis-ra-AYL HU, va-ya-SU-ru a-LA-yu l'-hi-LA-khem, va-yiz-AK y'-ho-SHA-fat.

33And when the chariot officers became aware that he was not the king of Yisrael, they turned back from pursuing him.

34Then a man drew his bow at random and he hit the king of Yisrael between the plates of the armor; and he said to his charioteer, “Turn the horses around and get me behind the lines; I'm wounded.”

35The battle raged all day long, and the king remained propped up in the chariot facing Aram; the blood from the wound ran down into the hollow of the chariot, and at dusk he died.

36As the sun was going down, a shout went through the army: “Every man to his own town! Every man to his own district.”

37So the king died and was brought to Shomron. They buried the king in Shomron,

38and they flushed out the chariot at the pool of Shomron. Thus the dogs lapped up his blood and the whores bathed [in it], in accordance with the word that Hashem had spoken.

39The other events of Achav's reign, and all his actions—the ivory palace that he built and all the towns that he fortified—are all recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Yisrael.

41Yehoshafat son of Asa had become king of Yehuda in the fourth year of King Achav of Yisrael.

42Yehoshafat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Yerushalayim for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

43He followed closely the course of his father Asa and did not deviate from it, doing what was pleasing to Hashem.

44However, the shrines did not cease to function; the people still sacrificed and offered at the shrines.

45And further, Yehoshafat submitted to the king of Yisrael.

46As for the other events of Yehoshafat's reign and the valor he displayed in battle, they are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Yehuda.

47He also stamped out the remaining male prostitutes who had survived in the land from the time of his father Asa.)

48There was no king in Edom; a viceroy acted as king.

49Yehoshafat constructed Tarshish ships to sail to Ophir for gold. But he did not sail because the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber.

50Then Achazyahu son of Achav proposed to Yehoshafat, “Let my servants sail on the ships with your servants”; but Yehoshafat would not agree.

51Yehoshafat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Yehoram succeeded him as king.

52[Meanwhile,] Achazyahu son of Achav had become king of Yisrael, in Shomron, in the seventeenth year of King Yehoshafat of Yehuda; he reigned over Yisrael two years.

53He did what was displeasing to Hashem, following in the footsteps of his father and his mother, and in those of Yerovam son of Nebat who had caused Yisrael to sin.

54He worshiped Baal and bowed down to him; he vexed Hashem, the God of Yisrael, just as his father had done.
