1 Kings 22

KJV

1  And they continued³⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ without³⁶⁹ war⁴⁴²¹ between⁹⁹⁶ Syria⁷⁵⁸ and Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

2  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the third⁷⁹⁹² year,⁸¹⁴¹ that Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ came down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Know³⁰⁴⁵ ye that³⁵⁸⁸ Ramoth in Gilead⁷⁴³³ is ours, and we⁵⁸⁷ be still,²⁸¹⁴ and take^{4480 3947} it not out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria?⁷⁵⁸

4  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Wilt thou go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ me to battle⁴⁴²¹ to Ramoth-gilead?⁷⁴³³ And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ I am as thou art, my people⁵⁹⁷¹ as thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ my horses⁵⁴⁸³ as thy horses.⁵⁴⁸³

5  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Inquire,¹⁸⁷⁵ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ at ⁸⁵³ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ today.³¹¹⁷

6  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gathered the prophets together,^{6908 853 5030} about four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men,³⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Shall I go¹⁹⁸⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ Ramoth-gilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or⁵¹⁸ shall I forbear?²³⁰⁸ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ Go up;⁵⁹²⁷ for the Lord¹³⁶ shall deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king.⁴⁴²⁸

7  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Is there not³⁶⁹ here⁶³¹¹ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ besides,⁵⁷⁵⁰ that we might inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of^{4480 854} him?

8  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² There is yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ one²⁵⁹ man,³⁷⁶ Micaiah⁴³²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imlah,³²²⁹ by^{4480 854} whom we may inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of ⁸⁵³ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ but I⁵⁸⁹ hate⁸¹³⁰ him; for³⁵⁸⁸ he doth not³⁸⁰⁸ prophesy⁵⁰¹² good²⁸⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ me, but^{3588 518} evil.⁷⁴⁵¹ And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Let not⁴⁰⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ say⁵⁵⁹ so.³⁶⁵¹

9  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ called^{7121 413} an²⁵⁹ officer,⁵⁶³¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hasten⁴¹¹⁶ hither Micaiah⁴³²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Imlah.³²²⁹

10  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ sat³⁴²⁷ each³⁷⁶ on⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ having put on³⁸⁴⁷ their robes,⁸⁹⁹ in a void place¹⁶³⁷ in the entrance⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Samaria;⁸¹¹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them.

11  And Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ made⁶²¹³ him horns⁷¹⁶¹ of iron:¹²⁷⁰ and he said,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ With these⁴²⁸ shalt thou push^{5055 853} the Syrians,⁷⁵⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ thou have consumed³⁶¹⁵ them.

12  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesied⁵⁰¹² so,³⁶⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go up⁵⁹²⁷ to Ramoth-gilead,⁷⁴³³ and prosper:⁶⁷⁴³ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the king's⁴⁴²⁸ hand.³⁰²⁷

13  And the messenger⁴³⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ was gone¹⁹⁸⁰ to call⁷¹²¹ Micaiah⁴³²¹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ declare good²⁸⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ with one²⁵⁹ mouth:⁶³¹⁰ let thy word,¹⁶⁹⁷ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ be¹⁹⁶¹ like the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of one²⁵⁹ of them,⁴⁴⁸⁰ and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ that which is good.²⁸⁹⁶

14  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ what⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saith⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, that will I speak.¹⁶⁹⁶

15  So he came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the king.⁴⁴²⁸ And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Micaiah,⁴³²¹ shall we go¹⁹⁸⁰ against⁴¹³ Ramoth-gilead⁷⁴³³ to battle,⁴⁴²¹ or⁵¹⁸ shall we forbear?²³⁰⁸ And he answered^{559 413} him, Go,⁵⁹²⁷ and prosper:⁶⁷⁴³ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king.⁴⁴²⁸

16  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, How⁵⁷⁰⁴ many⁴¹⁰⁰ times⁶⁴⁷¹ shall I⁵⁸⁹ adjure⁷⁶⁵⁰ thee that⁸³⁴ thou tell^{1696 413} me nothing³⁸⁰⁸ but⁷⁵³⁵ that which is true⁵⁷¹ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸

17  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I saw^{7200 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ scattered⁶³²⁷ upon⁴¹³ the hills,²⁰²² as sheep⁶⁶²⁹ that⁸³⁴ have not³⁶⁹ a shepherd:⁷⁴⁶² and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ These⁴²⁸ have no³⁸⁰⁸ master:¹¹³ let them return⁷⁷²⁵ every man³⁷⁶ to his house¹⁰⁰⁴ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

18  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Did I not³⁸⁰⁸ tell^{559 413} thee that he would prophesy⁵⁰¹² no³⁸⁰⁸ good²⁸⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ me, but^{3588 518} evil?⁷⁴⁵¹

19  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou therefore³⁶⁵¹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ I saw^{7200 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ sitting³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁵⁹²¹ him on his right hand^{4480 3225} and on his left.^{4480 8040}

20  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Who⁴³¹⁰ shall persuade^{6601 853} Ahab,²⁵⁶ that he may go up⁵⁹²⁷ and fall⁵³⁰⁷ at Ramoth-gilead?⁷⁴³³ And one²⁰⁸⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ on this manner,³⁵⁴¹ and another²⁰⁸⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ on that manner.³⁵⁴¹

21  And there came forth³³¹⁸ a spirit,⁷³⁰⁷ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ will persuade⁶⁶⁰¹ him.

22  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Wherewith?⁴¹⁰⁰ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will go forth,³³¹⁸ and I will be¹⁹⁶¹ a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of all³⁶⁰⁵ his prophets.⁵⁰³⁰ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt persuade⁶⁶⁰¹ him, and prevail³²⁰¹ also:¹⁵⁷¹ go forth,³³¹⁸ and do⁶²¹³ so.³⁶⁵¹

23  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath put⁵⁴¹⁴ a lying⁸²⁶⁷ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in the mouth⁶³¹⁰ of all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ thy prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ concerning⁵⁹²¹ thee.

24  But Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Chenaanah³⁶⁶⁸ went near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and smote^{5221 853} Micaiah⁴³²¹ on⁵⁹²¹ the cheek,³⁸⁹⁵ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Which³³⁵ way²⁰⁸⁸ went⁵⁶⁷⁴ the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ from^{4480 854} me to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁸⁵⁴ thee?

25  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ in that¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ when⁸³⁴ thou shalt go into⁹³⁵ an inner²³¹⁵ chamber²³¹⁵ to hide thyself.²²⁴⁷

26  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Take^{3947 853} Micaiah,⁴³²¹ and carry him back⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ Amon⁵²⁶ the governor⁸²⁶⁹ of the city,⁵⁸⁹² and to⁴¹³ Joash³¹⁰¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son;¹¹²¹

27  And say,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Put^{7760 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ fellow in the prison,^{1004 3608} and feed³⁹⁸ him with bread³⁸⁹⁹ of affliction³⁹⁰⁶ and with water⁴³²⁵ of affliction,³⁹⁰⁶ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ I come⁹³⁵ in peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

28  And Micaiah⁴³²¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ If⁵¹⁸ thou return at all^{7725 7725} in peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ by me. And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Hearken,⁸⁰⁸⁵ O people,⁵⁹⁷¹ every³⁶⁰⁵ one of you.

29  So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ went up⁵⁹²⁷ to Ramoth-gilead.⁷⁴³³

30  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² I will disguise myself,²⁶⁶⁴ and enter⁹³⁵ into the battle;⁴⁴²¹ but put³⁸⁴⁷ thou⁸⁵⁹ on thy robes.⁸⁹⁹ And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ disguised himself,²⁶⁶⁴ and went⁹³⁵ into the battle.⁴⁴²¹

31  But the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria⁷⁵⁸ commanded^{6680 853} his⁸³⁴ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ captains that had rule over⁸²⁶⁹ his⁸³⁴ chariots,⁷³⁹³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Fight³⁸⁹⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ with⁸⁵⁴ small⁶⁹⁹⁶ nor great,¹⁴¹⁹ save^{3588 518} only⁹⁰⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

32  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ saw^{7200 853} Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² that they¹⁹⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁸⁹ it¹⁹³¹ is the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ And they turned aside⁵⁴⁹³ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ him: and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² cried out.²¹⁹⁹

33  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the chariots⁷³⁹³ perceived⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ was not³⁸⁰⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that they turned back⁷⁷²⁵ from pursuing^{4480 310} him.

34  And a certain man³⁷⁶ drew⁴⁹⁰⁰ a bow⁷¹⁹⁸ at a venture,⁸⁵³⁷ and smote^{5221 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ between⁹⁹⁶ the joints¹⁶⁹⁴ of the harness:⁸³⁰² wherefore he said⁵⁵⁹ unto the driver of his chariot,⁷³⁹⁵ Turn²⁰¹⁵ thine hand,³⁰²⁷ and carry me out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the host;⁴²⁶⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ I am wounded.²⁴⁷⁰

35  And the battle⁴⁴²¹ increased⁵⁹²⁷ that¹⁹³¹ day:³¹¹⁷ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ stayed up⁵⁹⁷⁵ in his chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ against⁵²²⁷ the Syrians,⁷⁵⁸ and died⁴¹⁹¹ at even:⁶¹⁵³ and the blood¹⁸¹⁸ ran out³³³² of the wound⁴³⁴⁷ into⁴¹³ the midst²⁴³⁶ of the chariot.⁷³⁹³

36  And there went⁵⁶⁷⁴ a proclamation⁷⁴⁴⁰ throughout the host⁴²⁶⁴ about the going down⁹³⁵ of the sun,⁸¹²¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Every man³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ his city,⁵⁸⁹² and every man³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ his own country.⁷⁷⁶

37  So the king⁴⁴²⁸ died,⁴¹⁹¹ and was brought⁹³⁵ to Samaria;⁸¹¹¹ and they buried^{6912 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ in Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

38  And one washed^{7857 853} the chariot⁷³⁹³ in⁵⁹²¹ the pool¹²⁹⁵ of Samaria;⁸¹¹¹ and the dogs³⁶¹¹ licked up^{3952 853} his blood;¹⁸¹⁸ and they washed⁷³⁶⁴ his armor;²¹⁸⁵ according unto the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ he spoke.¹⁶⁹⁶

39  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he did,⁶²¹³ and the ivory⁸¹²⁷ house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ he made,¹¹²⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² that⁸³⁴ he built,¹¹²⁹ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the chronicles^{1697 3117} of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

40  So Ahab²⁵⁶ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers;¹ and Ahaziah²⁷⁴ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

41  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the son¹¹²¹ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ began to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Judah³⁰⁶³ in the fourth⁷⁰² year⁸¹⁴¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

42  Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² was thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign;⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ twenty⁶²⁴² and five²⁵⁶⁸ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Azubah⁵⁸⁰⁶ the daughter¹³²³ of Shilhi.⁷⁹⁷⁷

43  And he walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the ways¹⁸⁷⁰ of Asa⁶⁰⁹ his father;¹ he turned not aside^{3808 5493} from⁴⁴⁸⁰ it, doing⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ nevertheless³⁸⁹ the high places¹¹¹⁶ were not³⁸⁰⁸ taken away;⁵⁴⁹³ for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ offered²⁰⁷⁶ and burnt incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ in the high places.¹¹¹⁶

44  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² made peace⁷⁹⁹⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

45  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² and his might¹³⁶⁹ that⁸³⁴ he showed,⁶²¹³ and how⁸³⁴ he warred,³⁸⁹⁸ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book⁵⁶¹² of the chronicles^{1697 3117} of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah?³⁰⁶³

46  And the remnant³⁴⁹⁹ of the sodomites,⁶⁹⁴⁵ which⁸³⁴ remained⁷⁶⁰⁴ in the days³¹¹⁷ of his father¹ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ he took¹¹⁹⁷ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the land.⁷⁷⁶

47  There was then no³⁶⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ in Edom:¹²³ a deputy⁵³²⁴ was king.⁴⁴²⁸

48  Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² made⁶²¹³ ships⁵⁹¹ of Tharshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ to go¹⁹⁸⁰ to Ophir²¹¹ for gold:²⁰⁹¹ but they went¹⁹⁸⁰ not;³⁸⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the ships⁵⁹¹ were broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ at Ezion-geber.⁶¹⁰⁰

49  Then²²⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ Ahaziah²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ unto⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat,³⁰⁹² Let my servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁵⁹⁷³ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ in the ships.⁵⁹¹ But Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² would¹⁴ not.³⁸⁰⁸

50  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers¹ in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² his father:¹ and Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

51  Ahaziah²⁷⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ began to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in Samaria⁸¹¹¹ the seventeenth^{7651 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ two years⁸¹⁴¹ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

52  And he did⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of his father,¹ and in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of his mother,⁵¹⁷ and in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ who⁸³⁴ made Israel to sin:^{2398 853 3478}

53  For he served^{5647 853} Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² him, and provoked to anger^{3707 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ his father¹ had done.⁶²¹³

1 καὶ ἐκάθισεν τρία ἔτη καὶ οὐκ ἦν πόλεμος ἀνὰ μέσον Συρίας καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ισραηλ

2 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ τρίτῳ καὶ κατέβη Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ

3 καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ εἰ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡμῖν Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας

4 καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ ἀναβήσῃ μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ καθὼς ἐγὼ οὕτως καὶ σύ καθὼς ὁ λαός μου ὁ λαός σου καθὼς οἱ ἵπποι μου οἱ ἵπποι σου

5 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ ἐπερωτήσατε δὴ σήμερον τὸν κύριον

6 καὶ συνήθροισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας ὡς τετρακοσίους ἄνδρας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω καὶ εἶπαν ἀνάβαινε καὶ διδοὺς δώσει κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως

7 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπερωτήσομεν τὸν κύριον δι᾽ αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ ἔτι ἔστιν ἀνὴρ εἷς τοῦ ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν κύριον δι᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ μεμίσηκα αὐτόν ὅτι οὐ λαλεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ καλά ἀλλ᾽ ἢ κακά Μιχαιας υἱὸς Ιεμλα καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα μὴ λεγέτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως

9 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ εὐνοῦχον ἕνα καὶ εἶπεν τάχος Μιχαιαν υἱὸν Ιεμλα

10 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα ἐκάθηντο ἀνὴρ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ ἔνοπλοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν

11 καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Σεδεκιας υἱὸς Χανανα κέρατα σιδηρᾶ καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐν τούτοις κερατιεῖς τὴν Συρίαν ἕως συντελεσθῇ

12 καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον οὕτως λέγοντες ἀνάβαινε εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ καὶ εὐοδώσει καὶ δώσει κύριος εἰς χεῖράς σου καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Συρίας

13 καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς καλέσαι τὸν Μιχαιαν ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ λέγων ἰδοὺ δὴ λαλοῦσιν πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἑνὶ καλὰ περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως γίνου δὴ καὶ σὺ εἰς λόγους σου κατὰ τοὺς λόγους ἑνὸς τούτων καὶ λάλησον καλά

14 καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας ζῇ κύριος ὅτι ἃ ἂν εἴπῃ κύριος πρός με ταῦτα λαλήσω

15 καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς Μιχαια εἰ ἀναβῶ εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω καὶ εἶπεν ἀνάβαινε καὶ εὐοδώσει καὶ δώσει κύριος εἰς χεῖρα τοῦ βασιλέως

16 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς ποσάκις ἐγὼ ὁρκίζω σε ὅπως λαλήσῃς πρός με ἀλήθειαν ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου

17 καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας οὐχ οὕτως ἑώρακα πάντα τὸν Ισραηλ διεσπαρμένον ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ὡς ποίμνιον ᾧ οὐκ ἔστιν ποιμήν καὶ εἶπεν κύριος οὐ κύριος τούτοις ἀναστρεφέτω ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ

18 καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα οὐκ εἶπα πρὸς σέ οὐ προφητεύει οὗτός μοι καλά διότι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ κακά

19 καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας οὐχ οὕτως οὐκ ἐγώ ἄκουε ῥῆμα κυρίου οὐχ οὕτως εἶδον τὸν κύριον θεὸν Ισραηλ καθήμενον ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ στρατιὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἱστήκει περὶ αὐτὸν ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων αὐτοῦ

20 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τίς ἀπατήσει τὸν Αχααβ βασιλέα Ισραηλ καὶ ἀναβήσεται καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ καὶ εἶπεν οὗτος οὕτως καὶ οὗτος οὕτως

21 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν ἐγὼ ἀπατήσω αὐτόν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν κύριος ἐν τίνι

22 καὶ εἶπεν ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ ἔσομαι πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἀπατήσεις καί γε δυνήσει ἔξελθε καὶ ποίησον οὕτως

23 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἔδωκεν κύριος πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν σου τούτων καὶ κύριος ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακά

24 καὶ προσῆλθεν Σεδεκιου υἱὸς Χανανα καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν Μιχαιαν ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα καὶ εἶπεν ποῖον πνεῦμα κυρίου τὸ λαλῆσαν ἐν σοί

25 καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψῃ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὅταν εἰσέλθῃς ταμίειον τοῦ ταμιείου τοῦ κρυβῆναι

26 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ λάβετε τὸν Μιχαιαν καὶ ἀποστρέψατε αὐτὸν πρὸς Εμηρ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς πόλεως καὶ τῷ Ιωας υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως

27 εἰπὸν θέσθαι τοῦτον ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ ἐσθίειν αὐτὸν ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ θλίψεως ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι με ἐν εἰρήνῃ

28 καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν εἰρήνῃ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν ἐμοί

29 καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ

30 καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα συγκαλύψομαι καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν πόλεμον καὶ σὺ ἔνδυσαι τὸν ἱματισμόν μου καὶ συνεκαλύψατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον

31 καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐνετείλατο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ τριάκοντα καὶ δυσὶν λέγων μὴ πολεμεῖτε μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ μονώτατον

32 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων τὸν Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπον φαίνεται βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ οὗτος καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν πολεμῆσαι καὶ ἀνέκραξεν Ιωσαφατ

33 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ οὗτος καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ

34 καὶ ἐνέτεινεν εἷς τὸ τόξον εὐστόχως καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πνεύμονος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θώρακος καὶ εἶπεν τῷ ἡνιόχῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπίστρεψον τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ ἐξάγαγέ με ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου ὅτι τέτρωμαι

35 καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξ ἐναντίας Συρίας ἀπὸ πρωὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἀπέχυννε τὸ αἷμα ἐκ τῆς πληγῆς εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ ἅρματος καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο τὸ αἷμα τῆς τροπῆς ἕως τοῦ κόλπου τοῦ ἅρματος

36 καὶ ἔστη ὁ στρατοκῆρυξ δύνοντος τοῦ ἡλίου λέγων ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ πόλιν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν

37 ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἔθαψαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ

38 καὶ ἀπένιψαν τὸ ἅρμα ἐπὶ τὴν κρήνην Σαμαρείας καὶ ἐξέλειξαν αἱ ὕες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐλούσαντο ἐν τῷ αἵματι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν

39 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Αχααβ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ οἶκον ἐλεφάντινον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ

40 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Αχααβ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Οχοζιας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ

41 καὶ Ιωσαφατ υἱὸς Ασα ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ιουδα ἔτει τετάρτῳ τῷ Αχααβ βασιλέως Ισραηλ ἐβασίλευσεν

42 Ιωσαφατ υἱὸς τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Αζουβα θυγάτηρ Σελεϊ

43 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ Ασα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου

44 πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῆρεν ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζεν καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς

45 καὶ εἰρήνευσεν Ιωσαφατ μετὰ βασιλέως Ισραηλ

46 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ιωσαφατ καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ιουδα

51 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωσαφατ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη παρὰ τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωραμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ

52 καὶ Οχοζιας υἱὸς Αχααβ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐν ἔτει ἑπτακαιδεκάτῳ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεῖ Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ισραηλ ἔτη δύο

53 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ Αχααβ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὁδῷ Ιεζαβελ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις οἴκου Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ

54 καὶ ἐδούλευσεν τοῖς Βααλιμ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ παρώργισεν τὸν κύριον θεὸν Ισραηλ κατὰ πάντα τὰ γενόμενα ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ

Vul

1 Transierunt igitur tres anni absque bello inter Syriam et Israël.

2 In anno autem tertio, descendit Josaphat rex Juda ad regem Israël.

3 (Dixitque rex Israël ad servos suos: Ignoratis quod nostra sit Ramoth Galaad, et negligimus tollere eam de manu regis Syriæ?)

4 Et ait ad Josaphat: Veniesne mecum ad præliandum in Ramoth Galaad?

5 Dixitque Josaphat ad regem Israël: Sicut ego sum, ita et tu: populus meus et populus tuus unum sunt: et equites mei, equites tui. Dixitque Josaphat ad regem Israël: Quære, oro te, hodie sermonem Domini.

6 Congregavit ergo rex Israël prophetas, quadringentos circiter viros, et ait ad eos: Ire debeo in Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum, an quiescere? Qui responderunt: Ascende, et dabit eam Dominus in manu regis.

7 Dixit autem Josaphat: Non est hic propheta Domini quispiam, ut interrogemus per eum?

8 Et ait rex Israël ad Josaphat: Remansit vir unus per quem possumus interrogare Dominum: sed ego odi eum, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed malum: Michæas filius Jemla. Cui Josaphat ait: Ne loquaris ita, rex.

9 Vocavit ergo rex Israël eunuchum quemdam, et dixit ei: Festina adducere Michæam filium Jemla.

10 Rex autem Israël, et Josaphat rex Juda, sedebant unusquisque in solio suo, vestiti cultu regio, in area juxta ostium portæ Samariæ: et universi prophetæ prophetabant in conspectu eorum.

11 Fecit quoque sibi Sedecias filius Chanaana cornua ferrea, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: His ventilabis Syriam, donec deleas eam.

12 Omnesque prophetæ similiter prophetabant, dicentes: Ascende in Ramoth Galaad, et vade prospere, et tradet Dominus in manus regis.

13 Nuntius vero qui ierat ut vocaret Michæam, locutus est ad eum, dicens: Ecce sermones prophetarum ore uno regi bona prædicant: sit ergo sermo tuus similis eorum, et loquere bona.

14 Cui Michæas ait: Vivit Dominus, quia quodcumque dixerit mihi Dominus, hoc loquar.

15 Venit itaque ad regem, et ait illi rex: Michæa, ire debemus in Ramoth Galaad ad præliandum, an cessare? Cui ille respondit: Ascende, et vade prospere, et tradet eam Dominus in manus regis.

16 Dixit autem rex ad eum: Iterum atque iterum adjuro te, ut non loquaris mihi nisi quod verum est, in nomine Domini.

17 Et ille ait: Vidi cunctum Israël dispersum in montibus, quasi oves non habentes pastorem. Et ait Dominus: Non habent isti dominum: revertatur unusquisque in domum suam in pace.

18 (Dixit ergo rex Israël ad Josaphat: Numquid non dixi tibi, quia non prophetat mihi bonum, sed semper malum?)

19 Ille vero addens, ait: Propterea audi sermonem Domini: vidi Dominum sedentem super solium suum, et omnem exercitum cæli assistentem ei a dextris et a sinistris:

20 et ait Dominus: Quis decipiet Achab regem Israël, ut ascendat, et cadat in Ramoth Galaad? Et dixit unus verba hujuscemodi, et alius aliter.

21 Egressus est autem spiritus, et stetit coram Domino, et ait: Ego decipiam illum. Cui locutus est Dominus: In quo?

22 Et ille ait: Egrediar, et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum ejus. Et dixit Dominus: Decipies, et prævalebis: egredere, et fac ita.

23 Nunc igitur ecce dedit Dominus spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum, qui hic sunt, et Dominus locutus est contra te malum.

24 Accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaana, et percussit Michæam in maxillam, et dixit: Mene ergo dimisit spiritus Domini, et locutus est tibi?

25 Et ait Michæas: Visurus es in die illa quando ingredieris cubiculum intra cubiculum ut abscondaris.

26 Et ait rex Israël: Tollite Michæam, et maneat apud Amon principem civitatis, et apud Joas filium Amelech,

27 et dicite eis: Hæc dicit rex: Mittite virum istum in carcerem, et sustentate eum pane tribulationis, et aqua angustiæ, donec revertar in pace.

28 Dixitque Michæas: Si reversus fueris in pace, non est locutus in me Dominus. Et ait: Audite, populi omnes.

29 Ascendit itaque rex Israël, et Josaphat rex Juda, in Ramoth Galaad.

30 Dixit itaque rex Israël ad Josaphat: Sume arma, et ingredere prælium, et induere vestibus tuis. Porro rex Israël mutavit habitum suum, et ingressus est bellum.

31 Rex autem Syriæ præceperat principibus curruum triginta duobus, dicens: Non pugnabitis contra minorem et majorem quempiam, nisi contra regem Israël solum.

32 Cum ergo vidissent principes curruum Josaphat, suspicati sunt quod ipse esset rex Israël, et impetu facto pugnabant contra eum: et exclamavit Josaphat.

33 Intellexeruntque principes curruum quod non esset rex Israël, et cessaverunt ab eo.

34 Vir autem quidam tetendit arcum, in incertum sagittam dirigens, et casu percussit regem Israël inter pulmonem et stomachum. At ille dixit aurigæ suo: Verte manum tuam, et ejice me de exercitu, quia graviter vulneratus sum.

35 Commissum est ergo prælium in die illa, et rex Israël stabat in curru suo contra Syros, et mortuus est vespere: fluebat autem sanguis plagæ in sinum currus,

36 et præco insonuit in universo exercitu antequam sol occumberet, dicens: Unusquisque revertatur in civitatem, et in terram suam.

37 Mortuus est autem rex, et perlatus est in Samariam: sepelieruntque regem in Samaria,

38 et laverunt currum ejus in piscina Samariæ: et linxerunt canes sanguinem ejus, et habenas laverunt, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat.

39 Reliqua autem sermonum Achab, et universa quæ fecit, et domus eburnea quam ædificavit, cunctarumque urbium quas exstruxit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israël?

40 Dormivit ergo Achab cum patribus suis, et regnavit Ochozias filius ejus pro eo.

41 Josaphat vero filius Asa regnare cœperat super Judam anno quarto Achab regis Israël.

42 Triginta quinque annorum erat cum regnare cœpisset, et viginti quinque annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Azuba filia Salai.

43 Et ambulavit in omni via Asa patris sui, et non declinavit ex ea: fecitque quod rectum erat in conspectu Domini.

44 Verumtamen excelsa non abstulit: adhuc enim populus sacrificabat, et adolebat incensum in excelsis.

45 Pacemque habuit Josaphat cum rege Israël.

46 Reliqua autem verborum Josaphat, et opera ejus quæ gessit, et prælia, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Juda?

47 Sed et reliquias effeminatorum qui remanserant in diebus Asa patris ejus, abstulit de terra.

48 Nec erat tunc rex constitutus in Edom.

49 Rex vero Josaphat fecerat classes in mari, quæ navigarent in Ophir propter aurum: et ire non potuerunt, quia confractæ sunt in Asiongaber.

50 Tunc ait Ochozias filius Achab ad Josaphat: Vadant servi mei cum servis tuis in navibus. Et noluit Josaphat.

51 Dormivitque Josaphat cum patribus suis, et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David patris sui: regnavitque Joram filius ejus pro eo.

52 Ochozias autem filius Achab regnare cœperat super Israël in Samaria, anno septimodecimo Josaphat regis Juda: regnavitque super Israël duobus annis.

53 Et fecit malum in conspectu Domini, et ambulavit in via patris sui et matris suæ, et in via Jeroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israël.

54 Servivit quoque Baal, et adoravit eum, et irritavit Dominum Deum Israël, juxta omnia quæ fecerat pater ejus.
