Bible. Kings, 1st
11:021:025 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to
work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his
wife stirred up.
11:021:026 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to
all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before
the children of Israel.
11:021:027 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent
his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and
lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
11:021:028 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
11:021:029 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he
humbleth 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
house.
11:022:001 And they continued three years without war between Syria and
Israel.
11:022:002 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the
king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
11:022:003 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that
Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out
of the hand of the king of Syria?
11:022:004 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle
to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I
am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy
horses.
11:022:005 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray
thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
11:022:006 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about
four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against
Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go
up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
11:022:007 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD
besides, that we might enquire of him?
11:022:008 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one
man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the
LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning
me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
11:022:009 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten
hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
11:022:010 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat
each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place
in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets
prophesied before them.
11:022:011 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and
he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the
Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
