2 Chronicles 18:22-31 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

22. “And now, see, יהוה has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and יהוה has spoken evil concerning you.”

23. And Tsiḏqiyahu son of Kena‛anah came near and smote Miḵayehu on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the spirit of יהוה pass over from me to speak to you?”

24. And Miḵayehu said, “Look, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide!”

25. Then the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl said, “Take Miḵayehu, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Yo’ash the sovereign’s son,

26. and say, ‘Thus said the sovereign, “Put this one in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace.” ’ ”

27. And Miḵayehu said, “If you return at all in peace, יהוה has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Hear, all you people!”

28. Then the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl and Yehoshaphat the sovereign of Yehuḏah went up to Ramoth Gil‛ad.

29. And the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl said to Yehoshaphat, “Let me disguise myself and go into battle, but you put on your robes.” And the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl disguised himself, and they went into battle.

30. And the sovereign of Aram had commanded the commanders of the chariots who were with him, saying, “Fight with no one small or great, but only with the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.”

31. And it came to be, when the commanders of the chariots saw Yehoshaphat, that they said, “It is the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl!” So they turned around to fight against him, and Yehoshaphat cried out, and יהוה helped him, and Elohim moved them to turn away from him.
