I Kings 22

transierunt igitur tres anni absque bello inter Syriam et Israhel

And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

in anno autem tertio descendit Iosaphat rex Iuda ad regem Israhel

And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

dixitque rex Israhel ad servos suos ignoratis quod nostra sit Ramoth Galaad et neglegimus tollere eam de manu regis Syriae

And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?

et ait ad Iosaphat veniesne mecum ad proeliandum in Ramoth Galaad

And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth–gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israhel sicut ego sum ita et tu populus meus et populus tuus unum sunt et equites mei et equites tui dixitque Iosaphat ad regem Israhel quaere oro te hodie sermonem Domini

And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

congregavit ergo rex Israhel prophetas quadringentos circiter viros et ait ad eos ire debeo in Ramoth Galaad ad bellandum an quiescere qui responderunt ascende et dabit Dominus in manu regis

Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

dixit autem Iosaphat non est hic propheta Domini quispiam ut interrogemus per eum

And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?

et ait rex Israhel ad Iosaphat remansit vir unus per quem possimus interrogare Dominum sed ego odi eum quia non prophetat mihi bonum sed malum Micheas filius Hiemla cui Iosaphat ait ne loquaris ita rex

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

vocavit ergo rex Israhel eunuchum quendam et dixit ei festina adducere Micheam filium Hiemla

Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.

rex autem Israhel et Iosaphat rex Iuda sedebat unusquisque in solio suo vestiti cultu regio in area iuxta ostium portae Samariae et universi prophetae prophetabant in conspectu eorum

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

fecit quoque sibi Sedecias filius Chanaan cornua ferrea et ait haec dicit Dominus his ventilabis Syriam donec deleas eam

And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.

omnesque prophetae similiter prophetabant dicentes ascende in Ramoth Galaad et vade prospere et tradet Dominus in manu regis

And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth–gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.

nuntius vero qui ierat ut vocaret Micheam locutus est ad eum dicens ecce sermones prophetarum ore uno bona regi praedicant sit ergo et sermo tuus similis eorum et loquere bona

And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.

cui Micheas ait vivit Dominus quia quodcumque dixerit mihi Dominus hoc loquar

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.

venit itaque ad regem et ait illi rex Michea ire debemus in Ramoth Galaad ad proeliandum an cessare cui ille respondit ascende et vade prospere et tradet Dominus in manu regis

So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

dixit autem rex ad eum iterum atque iterum adiuro te ut non loquaris mihi nisi quod verum est in nomine Domini

And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?

et ille ait vidi cunctum Israhel dispersum in montibus quasi oves non habentes pastorem et ait Dominus non habent dominum isti revertatur unusquisque in domum suam in pace

And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

dixit ergo rex Israhel ad Iosaphat numquid non dixi tibi quia non prophetat mihi bonum sed semper malum

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

ille vero addens ait propterea audi sermonem Domini vidi Dominum sedentem super solium suum et omnem exercitum caeli adsistentem ei a dextris et a sinistris

And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

et ait Dominus quis decipiet Ahab regem Israhel ut ascendat et cadat in Ramoth Galaad et dixit unus verba huiuscemodi et alius aliter

And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth–gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

egressus est autem spiritus et stetit coram Domino et ait ego decipiam illum cui locutus est Dominus in quo

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.

et ille ait egrediar et ero spiritus mendax in ore omnium prophetarum eius et dixit Dominus decipies et praevalebis egredere et fac ita

And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

nunc igitur ecce dedit Dominus spiritum mendacii in ore omnium prophetarum tuorum qui hic sunt et Dominus locutus est contra te malum

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

accessit autem Sedecias filius Chanaan et percussit Micheam in maxillam et dixit mene ergo dimisit spiritus Domini et locutus est tibi

But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?

et ait Micheas visurus es in die illa quando ingredieris cubiculum intra cubiculum ut abscondaris

And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

et ait rex Israhel tollite Micheam et maneat apud Amon principem civitatis et apud Ioas filium Ammelech

And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

et dicite eis haec dicit rex mittite virum istum in carcerem et sustentate eum pane tribulationis et aqua angustiae donec revertar in pace

And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

dixitque Micheas si reversus fueris in pace non est locutus Dominus in me et ait audite populi omnes

And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.

ascendit itaque rex Israhel et Iosaphat rex Iuda in Ramoth Galaad

So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth–gilead.

dixitque rex Israhel ad Iosaphat sume arma et ingredere proelium et induere vestibus tuis porro rex Israhel mutavit habitum et ingressus est bellum

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

rex autem Syriae praeceperat principibus curruum triginta duobus dicens non pugnabitis contra minorem et maiorem quempiam nisi contra regem Israhel solum

But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.

cum ergo vidissent principes curruum Iosaphat suspicati sunt quod ipse esset rex Israhel et impetu facto pugnabant contra eum et exclamavit Iosaphat

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

intellexeruntque principes curruum quod non esset rex Israhel et cessaverunt ab eo

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

unus autem quidam tetendit arcum in incertum sagittam dirigens et casu percussit regem Israhel inter pulmonem et stomachum at ille dixit aurigae suo verte manum tuam et eice me de exercitu quia graviter vulneratus sum

And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

commissum est ergo proelium in die illa et rex Israhel stabat in curru suo contra Syros et mortuus est vesperi fluebat autem sanguis plagae in sinum currus

And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

et praeco personuit in universo exercitu antequam sol occumberet dicens unusquisque revertatur in civitatem et in terram suam

And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.

mortuus est autem rex et perlatus est Samariam sepelieruntque regem in Samaria

So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

et laverunt currum in piscina Samariae et linxerunt canes sanguinem eius et habenas laverunt iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat

And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.

reliqua vero sermonum Ahab et universa quae fecit et domus eburneae quam aedificavit cunctarumque urbium quas extruxit nonne scripta sunt haec in libro verborum dierum regum Israhel

Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

dormivit ergo Ahab cum patribus suis et regnavit Ohozias filius eius pro eo

So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

Iosaphat filius Asa regnare coeperat super Iudam anno quarto Ahab regis Israhel

And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

triginta quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset et viginti et quinque annos regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Azuba filia Salai

Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

et ambulavit in omni via Asa patris sui et non declinavit ex ea fecitque quod rectum est in conspectu Domini verumtamen excelsa non abstulit adhuc enim populus sacrificabat et adolebat incensum in excelsis

And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

pacemque habuit Iosaphat cum rege Israhel

And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

reliqua autem verborum Iosaphat et opera eius quae gessit et proelia nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

sed et reliquias effeminatorum qui remanserant in diebus Asa patris eius abstulit de terra

And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.

nec erat tunc rex constitutus in Edom

There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.

rex vero Iosaphat fecerat classes in mari quae navigarent in Ophir propter aurum et ire non potuerunt quia confractae sunt in Asiongaber

Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion–geber.

tunc ait Ohozias filius Ahab ad Iosaphat vadant servi mei cum servis tuis in navibus et noluit Iosaphat

Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

dormivitque cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David patris sui regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo

And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

Ohozias autem filius Ahab regnare coeperat super Israhel in Samaria anno septimodecimo Iosaphat regis Iuda regnavitque super Israhel duobus annis

Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.

et fecit malum in conspectu Domini et ambulavit in via patris sui et matris suae et in via Hieroboam filii Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:

servivit quoque Baal et adoravit eum et inritavit Dominum Deum Israhel iuxta omnia quae fecerat pater eius

For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
