2 Chronicles 18:23-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

23. Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh come from me to speak to you?”

24. Then Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into a private room to hide yourself.”

25. Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the commander of the city and to Jehoash the son of the king,

26. and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this one into the prison house, and let him eat a meager ration of bread and water until I return in peace.” ’ ”

27. And Micaiah said, “If you surely return in peace Yahweh has not spoken with me.” Then he said, “Hear, peoples, all of them!”

28. Then the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.

29. And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you, wear your garments.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went to war.

30. Now the king of Aram had commanded the commanders of his chariots, saying, “Do not fight with the small or the great, but only with the king of Israel.”

31. And it happened that when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, then they said, “It is the king of Israel!” And they turned against him to fight. Then Jehoshaphat cried out and Yahweh helped him. God drove them away from him.
