hath spoken evil against thee.

smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the L
ORD
from me to speak
unto thee?
24

chamber to hide thyself.
25
Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to
Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
26
And say, Thus saith 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.
27

then
hath not the L

spoken
by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.

30
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots
that
were
with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
31
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It
is
the
king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the
L
ORD
helped him; and God moved them
to depart
from him.
32
For it came to pass, that, when the
captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from
pursuing him.
33
And a
certain
man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between
the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest
carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
34
And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king
of Israel stayed
himself
up in
his
chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of
the sun going down he died.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 19
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
2
And Jehu the son
of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the
ungodly, and love them that hate the L
ORD
? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the L
ORD
.
3
Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of
the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.

went out again through the people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto
the L
ORD
God of their fathers.
5
And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
6
And said
to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the L
ORD
, who is with you
in the judgment.
7
Wherefore now let the fear of the L
ORD
be upon you; take heed and do
it:
for
there is
no iniquity with the L
ORD
our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
