Löydetty 2257 Tulokset: King Ahaz
Up to the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign there was no war. In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha king of Israel invaded Judah and fortified Ramah to blockade Asa king of Judah. (2 Chronicles 16, 1)
Asa then took the silver and gold from the treasuries of Yahweh's House and the royal palace, and sent it with the following message to Ben-hadad king of Aram who lived in Damascus, (2 Chronicles 16, 2)
"Let there be a covenant between myself and you, as between my father and your father! With this I send you silver and gold. Come, break off your alliance with Baasah king of Israel, so that he goes away from me. (2 Chronicles 16, 3)
King Asa then brought all the people of Judah, who took away the stones and timber with which Baasah had been fortifying Ramah, and the king used them to fortify Geba and Mizpah. (2 Chronicles 16, 6)
It was then that Hanani, the prophet, came to Asa king of Judah and said, "Since you have relied on the king of Aram and not on Yahweh your God, the army of the king of Aram will escape from you. (2 Chronicles 16, 7)
These were the men who served the king, not counting those the king had put in the fortified towns throughout Judah. (2 Chronicles 17, 19)
And he asked Jehoshaphat, "Will you come with me to Ramoth-gilead?" Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, "I am with you, my men are yours, and we will fight together." (2 Chronicles 18, 3)
Jehoshaphat, however, said to the king of Israel, "First, please consult the word of Yahweh." (2 Chronicles 18, 4)
So the king of Israel called the prophets who were four hundred men, and asked them, "Should we march to attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?" They replied, "Go, because Yahweh will deliver it into your power." (2 Chronicles 18, 5)
The king of Israel answered, "There is one more man through whom we can consult Yahweh, but I hate him because he never tells me good things but only discouraging words. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." Jehoshaphat said, "The king should not say such things." (2 Chronicles 18, 7)
Accordingly the king of Israel summoned one of his officials and said, "Bring Micaiah son of Imlah immediately." (2 Chronicles 18, 8)
The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were both sitting on their thrones in royal garments; they sat at the threshing-floor outside the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets raving in front of them. (2 Chronicles 18, 9)
