Löydetty 2239 Tulokset: Power In Israel
There was a lull of three years, with no fighting between Aram and Israel. (1 Kings 22, 1)
Then, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah paid a visit to the king of Israel. (1 Kings 22, 2)
The king of Israel said to his officers, 'You are aware that Ramoth in Gilead belongs to us? And yet we do nothing to wrest it away from the king of Aram.' (1 Kings 22, 3)
He said to Jehoshaphat, 'Will you come with me to attack Ramoth in Gilead?' Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, 'I will be as you, my men as yours, my horses as yours.' (1 Kings 22, 4)
Jehoshaphat, however, said to the king of Israel, 'First, please enquire what the word of Yahweh is.' (1 Kings 22, 5)
The king of Israel then called the prophets together, about four hundred of them. 'Should I go and attack Ramoth in Gilead,' he asked, 'or should I hold back?' 'Go ahead,' they replied, 'for Yahweh has already given it to the king.' (1 Kings 22, 6)
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'There is one more man through whom we can consult Yahweh, but I hate him because he never has a favourable prophecy for me, only unfavourable ones; he is Micaiah son of Imlah.' 'I hope the king's words are unjustified,' said Jehoshaphat. (1 Kings 22, 8)
The king of Israel then summoned a court official and said, 'Bring Micaiah son of Imlah immediately.' (1 Kings 22, 9)
The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, wearing their robes, in an open space just outside the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets in a state of ecstasy before them. (1 Kings 22, 10)
Then he spoke out: I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. And Yahweh said, 'These have no master, let them all go safely home!' (1 Kings 22, 17)
At this the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'Did I not tell you that he never gives me favourable prophecies, but only unfavourable ones?' (1 Kings 22, 18)
The king of Israel said, 'Seize Micaiah and hand him over to Amon, governor of the city, and Joash, the king's son, (1 Kings 22, 26)
