| 22 1 | For three years Syria and Israel continued without war. | The prophet Micaiah warns Ahab. 1Kgs.22.1-28 | 2Chr.18.2-27 | וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים אֵין מִלְחָמָה בֵּין אֲרָם וּבֵין יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ף |
| 2 | But in the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. | וַיְהִי בַּשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁית וַיֵּרֶד יְהֹושָׁפָט מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה אֶל־מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 3 | And the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we keep quiet and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?" | וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הַיְדַעְתֶּם כִּי־לָנוּ רָמֹת גִּלְעָד וַאֲנַחְנוּ מַחְשִׁים מִקַּחַת אֹתָהּ מִיַּד מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם׃ | |
| 4 | And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses." | וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־יְהֹושָׁפָט הֲתֵלֵךְ אִתִּי לַמִּלְחָמָה רָמֹת גִּלְעָד וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושָׁפָט אֶל־מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּמֹונִי כָמֹוךָ כְּעַמִּי כְעַמֶּךָ כְּסוּסַי כְּסוּסֶיךָ׃ | |
| 5 | And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Inquire first for the word of Yahweh." | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושָׁפָט אֶל־מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל דְּרָשׁ־נָא כַיֹּום אֶת־דְּבַר יְהוָה׃ | |
| 6 | Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I forbear?" And they said, "Go up; for Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king." | וַיִּקְבֹּץ מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַנְּבִיאִים כְּאַרְבַּע מֵאֹות אִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם הַאֵלֵךְ עַל־רָמֹת גִּלְעָד לַמִּלְחָמָה אִם־אֶחְדָּל וַיֹּאמְרוּ עֲלֵה וְיִתֵּן אֲדֹנָי בְּיַד הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ | |
| 7 | But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not here another prophet of Yahweh of whom we may inquire?" | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושָׁפָט הַאֵין פֹּה נָבִיא לַיהוָה עֹוד וְנִדְרְשָׁה מֵאֹותֹו׃ | |
| 8 | And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but evil." And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so." | וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהֹושָׁפָט עֹוד אִישׁ־אֶחָד לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת־יְהוָה מֵאֹתֹו וַאֲנִי שְׂנֵאתִיו כִּי לֹא־יִתְנַבֵּא עָלַי טֹוב כִּי אִם־רָע מִיכָיְהוּ בֶּן־יִמְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושָׁפָט אַל־יֹאמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ כֵּן׃ | |
| 9 | Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah." | וַיִּקְרָא מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־סָרִיס אֶחָד וַיֹּאמֶר מַהֲרָה מִיכָיְהוּ בֶן־יִמְלָה׃ | |
| 10 | Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting on their thrones, arrayed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them. | וּמֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהֹושָׁפָט מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה יֹשְׁבִים אִישׁ עַל־כִּסְאֹו מְלֻבָּשִׁים בְּגָדִים בְּגֹרֶן פֶּתַח שַׁעַר שֹׁמְרֹון וְכָל־הַנְּבִיאִים מִתְנַבְּאִים לִפְנֵיהֶם׃ | |
| 11 | And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and said, "Thus says Yahweh, 'With these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed.' " | וַיַּעַשׂ לֹו צִדְקִיָּה בֶן־כְּנַעֲנָה קַרְנֵי בַרְזֶל וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה בְּאֵלֶּה תְּנַגַּח אֶת־אֲרָם עַד־כַּלֹּתָם׃ | |
| 12 | And all the prophets prophesied so, and said, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph; Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king." | וְכָל־הַנְּבִאִים נִבְּאִים כֵּן לֵאמֹר עֲלֵה רָמֹת גִּלְעָד וְהַצְלַח וְנָתַן יְהוָה בְּיַד הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ | |
| 13 | And the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, "Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favourable to the king; let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favourably." | וְהַמַּלְאָךְ אֲשֶׁר־הָלַךְ לִקְרֹא מִיכָיְהוּ דִּבֶּר אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה־נָא דִּבְרֵי הַנְּבִיאִים פֶּה־אֶחָד טֹוב אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהִי־נָא כ= דִבְרֵיךָ ק= דְבָרְךָ כִּדְבַר אַחַד מֵהֶם וְדִבַּרְתָּ טֹּוב׃ | |
| 14 | But Micaiah said, "As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will speak." | וַיֹּאמֶר מִיכָיְהוּ חַי־יְהוָה כִּי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר יֹאמַר יְהוָה אֵלַי אֹתֹו אֲדַבֵּר׃ | |
| 15 | And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?" And he answered him, "Go up and triumph; Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king." | וַיָּבֹוא אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵלָיו מִיכָיְהוּ הֲנֵלֵךְ אֶל־רָמֹת גִּלְעָד לַמִּלְחָמָה אִם־נֶחְדָּל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו עֲלֵה וְהַצְלַח וְנָתַן יְהוָה בְּיַד הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ | |
| 16 | But the king said to him, "How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?" | וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַמֶּלֶךְ עַד־כַּמֶּה פְעָמִים אֲנִי מַשְׁבִּעֶךָ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תְדַבֵּר אֵלַי רַק־אֱמֶת בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה׃ | |
| 17 | And he said, "I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, | וַיֹּאמֶר רָאִיתִי אֶת־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל נְפֹצִים אֶל־הֶהָרִים כַּצֹּאן אֲשֶׁר אֵין־לָהֶם רֹעֶה וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה לֹא־אֲדֹנִים לָאֵלֶּה יָשׁוּבוּ אִישׁ־לְבֵיתֹו בְּשָׁלֹום׃ | |
| 18 | And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?" | וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהֹושָׁפָט הֲלֹוא אָמַרְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ לֹוא־יִתְנַבֵּא עָלַי טֹוב כִּי אִם־רָע׃ | |
| 19 | And Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; | וַיֹּאמֶר לָכֵן שְׁמַע דְּבַר־יְהוָה רָאִיתִי אֶת־יְהוָה יֹשֵׁב עַל־כִּסְאֹו וְכָל־צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם עֹמֵד עָלָיו מִימִינֹו וּמִשְּׂמֹאלֹו׃ | |
| 20 | and Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said one thing, and another said another. | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה מִי יְפַתֶּה אֶת־אַחְאָב וְיַעַל וְיִפֹּל בְּרָמֹת גִּלְעָד וַיֹּאמֶר זֶה בְּכֹה וְזֶה אֹמֵר בְּכֹה׃ | |
| 21 | Then a spirit came forward and stood before Yahweh, saying, 'I will entice him.' | וַיֵּצֵא הָרוּחַ וַיַּעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֲנִי אֲפַתֶּנּוּ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלָיו בַּמָּה׃ | |
| 22 | And Yahweh said to him, 'By what means?' And he said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go forth and do so.' | וַיֹּאמֶר אֵצֵא וְהָיִיתִי רוּחַ שֶׁקֶר בְּפִי כָּל־נְבִיאָיו וַיֹּאמֶר תְּפַתֶּה וְגַם־תּוּכָל צֵא וַעֲשֵׂה־כֵן׃ | |
| 23 | Now therefore behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you." | וְעַתָּה הִנֵּה נָתַן יְהוָה רוּחַ שֶׁקֶר בְּפִי כָּל־נְבִיאֶיךָ אֵלֶּה וַיהוָה דִּבֶּר עָלֶיךָ רָעָה׃ | |
| 24 | Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "How did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?" | וַיִּגַּשׁ צִדְקִיָּהוּ בֶן־כְּנַעֲנָה וַיַּכֶּה אֶת־מִיכָיְהוּ עַל־הַלֶּחִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵי־זֶה עָבַר רוּחַ־יְהוָה מֵאִתִּי לְדַבֵּר אֹותָךְ׃ | |
| 25 | And Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself." | וַיֹּאמֶר מִיכָיְהוּ הִנְּךָ רֹאֶה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹא חֶדֶר בְּחֶדֶר לְהֵחָבֵה׃ | |
| 26 | And the king of Israel said, "Seize Micaiah, and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son; | וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל קַח אֶת־מִיכָיְהוּ וַהֲשִׁיבֵהוּ אֶל־אָמֹן שַׂר־הָעִיר וְאֶל־יֹואָשׁ בֶּן־הַמֶּלֶךְ׃ | |
| 27 | and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with scant fare of bread and water, until I come in peace." '" | וְאָמַרְתָּ כֹּה אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ שִׂימוּ אֶת־זֶה בֵּית הַכֶּלֶא וְהַאֲכִילֻהוּ לֶחֶם לַחַץ וּמַיִם לַחַץ עַד בֹּאִי בְשָׁלֹום׃ | |
| 28 | And Micaiah said, "If you return in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me." And he said, "Hear, all you peoples!" | וַיֹּאמֶר מִיכָיְהוּ אִם־שֹׁוב תָּשׁוּב בְּשָׁלֹום לֹא־דִבֶּר יְהוָה בִּי וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁמְעוּ עַמִּים כֻּלָּם׃ | |
