Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
18:24. And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou
shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself.
18:25. And the king of Israel commanded, saying: Take Micheas, and carry
him to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joas the son of Amelech,
18:26. And say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in prison, and give
him bread and water in a small quantity till I return in peace.
18:27. And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not
spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
18:28. So the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth
Galaad.
18:29. And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: I will change my dress,
and so I will go to the battle, but put thou on thy own garments. And
the king of Israel having changed his dress, went to the battle.
18:30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his cavalry,
saying: Fight ye not with small, or great, but with the king of Israel
only.
18:31. So when the captains of the cavalry saw Josaphat, they said: This
is the king of Israel. And they surrounded him to attack him: but he
cried to the Lord, and he helped him, and turned them away from him.
18:32. For when the captains of the cavalry saw, that he was not the
king of Israel, they left him.
18:33. And it happened that one of the people shot an arrow at a
venture, and struck the king of Israel between the neck and the
shoulders, and he said to his chariot man: Turn thy hand, and carry me
out of the battle, for I am wounded.
18:34. And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in
his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the
sunset.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 19
Josaphat's charge to the judges and to the Levites.
19:1. And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to
Jerusalem.
19:2. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer met him, and said to him: Thou
helpest the ungodly, and thou art joined in friendship with them that
hate the Lord, and therefore thou didst deserve indeed the wrath of the
Lord:
19:3. But good works are found in thee, because thou hast taken away the
groves out of the land of Juda, and hast prepared thy heart to seek the
Lord the God of thy fathers.
19:4. And Josaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again to the
people from Bersabee to mount Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord
the God of their fathers.
19:5. And he set judges of the land in all the fenced cities of Juda, in
every place.
19:6. And charging the judges, he said: Take heed what you do: for you
exercise not the judgment of man, but of the Lord: and whatsoever you
judge, it shall redound to you.
19:7. Let the fear of the Lord be with you, and do all things with
diligence: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect
of persons, nor desire of gifts.
