23
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and smote Micaiah upon the cheek and said, Which way did the Spirit of the LORD depart from me to speak unto thee?
24
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
25
Then the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and carry him back to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, the king’s son
26
and say, Thus hath the king said, Put this
fellow in the prison and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction until I return in peace.
27
And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace,
then the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye peoples.
28
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramothgilead.
29
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself to enter into the battle, but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself and entered into the battle.
30
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that
were with him, saying, Fight not with small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.
31
And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It
is the king of Israel. Therefore, they compassed about him to fight; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God separated them from him.
32
And when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they withdrew from pursuing him.
33
But a
certain man drew a bow in all his perfection and smote the king of Israel between the joints of
his coat of mail; therefore, he said to his chariot man, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the camp, for I am wounded.
