LXX

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

Καὶ ἐκάθισε τὰ τρία ἔτη, καὶ οὐκ ἦν πόλεμος ἀναμέσον Συρίας καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἰσραήλ.

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

Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ τρίτῳ, καὶ κατέβη Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ.

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?

Καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, εἰ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡμῖν Ῥεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ, καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας;

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.

Καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ, ἀναβήσῃ μεθʼ ἡμῶν εἰς Ῥεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον;

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

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ, καθὼς ἐγὼ, καὶ σὺ οὕτως· καθὼς ὁ λαός μου, ὁ λαός σου· καθὼς οἱ ἵπποι μου, οἱ ἵπποι σου. Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, ἐπερωτήσατε δὴ σήμερον τὸν Κύριον.

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.

Καὶ συνήθροισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας ὡς τετρακοσίους ἄνδρας, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς, εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ῥεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπισχῶ; καὶ εἶπον, ἀνάβαινε, καὶ διδοὺς δώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.

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

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ ἐπερωτήσομεν τὸν κύριον διʼ αὐτοῦ;

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.

Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ, εἷς ἐστιν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ ἐπερωτῆσαι δὀ αὐτοῦ τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἐγὼ μεμίσηκα αὐτὸν, ὄτι οὐ λαλεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ καλὰ, ἀλλʼ ἢ κακὰ, Μιχαίας υἱὸς Ἰεμβλαά· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα, μὴ λεγέτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως.

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

Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ εὐνοῦχον ἕνα, καὶ εἶπε, τοτάχος Μιχαίαν υἱὸν Ἰεμβλαά.

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.

Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἐκάθηντο ἀνὴρ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ ἔνοπλοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας· καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.

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.

Καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν κέρατα σιδηρᾶ, καὶ εἶπε, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐν τούτοις κερατιεῖς τὴν Συρίαν ἕως συντελεσθῇ.

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.

Καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον οὕτως, λέγοντες, ἀνάβαινε εἰς Ῥεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ, καὶ εὐοδώσει, καὶ δώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖράς σου καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Συρίας.

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.

Καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς καλέσαι τὸν Μιχαίαν, ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ, λέγων, ἰδοὺ δὴ λαλοῦσι πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἐνὶ καλὰ περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, γίνου δὴ καὶ σὺ εἰς τοὺς λόγους σου κατὰ τοὺς λόγους ἑνὸς τούτων, καὶ λάλησον καλά.

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

Καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας, ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι ἃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ταῦτα λαλήσω.

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.

Καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, Μιχαία, εἰ ἀναβῶ εἰς Ῥεμμὰθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον, ἢ ἐπισχῶ; καὶ εἶπεν, ἀνάβαινε, καὶ εὐοδώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖρα τοῦ βασιλέως.

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?

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, ποσάκις ἐγὼ ὁρκίζω σε, ὃπως λαλήσῃς πρὸς μὲ ἀλήθειαν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου;

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.

Καὶ εἶπεν, οὐχ οὕτως· ἑώρακα πάντα τὸν Ἰσραὴλ διεσπαρμένον ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ὡς ποίμνιον ᾧ οὐκ ἔστι ποιμήν· καὶ εἶπε Κύριος, οὐ κύριος τούτοις Θεός; ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἀναστρεφέτω.

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

Καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, οὐκ εἶπα πρὸς σε, ὅτι οὐ προφητεύει οὗτός μοι καλὰ, διότι ἀλλʼ ἢ κακά;

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.

Καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας, οὐχ οὕτως· οὐκ ἐγώ· ἄκουε ῥῆμα Κυρίου· οὐχ οὕτως. Εἶδον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ καθήμενον ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ στρατιὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἱστήκει περὶ αὐτὸν ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων αὐτοῦ.

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.

Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος, τίς ἀπατήσει τὸν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀναβήσεται, καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν Ῥεμμὰθ Γαλαάδ; καὶ εἶπεν οὗτος οὕτως, καὶ οὗτος οὕτως.

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

Καὶ ἐξῆλθε πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ εἶπεν, ἐγὼ ἀπατήσω αὐτόν.

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.

Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Κύριος, ἐν τίνι; καὶ εἶπεν, ἐξελεύσομαι, καὶ ἔσομαι πνεῦμα ψευδὲς εἰς τὸ στόμα πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν, ἀπατήσεις, καί γε δυνήσῃ· ἔξελθε καὶ ποίησον οὕτως.

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.

Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἔδωκε Κύριος πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν σου τούτων, καὶ Κύριος ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακά.

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?

Καὶ προσῆλθε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα, καὶ εἶπε, ποῖον πνεῦμα Κύριου τὸ λαλῆσαν ἐν σοί;

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

Καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας, ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὅταν εἰσέλθῃς ταμεῖον τοῦ ταμείου τοῦ κρυβῆναι ἐκεῖ.

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;

Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, λάβετε τὸν Μιχαίαν, καὶ ἀποστρέψατε αὐτὸν πρὸς Σεμὴρ τὸν βασιλέα τῆς πόλεως· καὶ τῷ Ἰωὰς υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως

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.

εἶπον θέσθαι τοῦτον ἐν φυλακῇ, καὶ ἐσθίειν αὐτὸν ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ θλίψεως ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι με ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

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.

Καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας, ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, οὐ λελάληκε Κύριος ἐν ἐμοί.

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

Καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ῥεμμὰθ Γαλαάδ.

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.

Καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, συγκαλύψομαι καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, καὶ σὺ ἔνδυσαι τὸν ἱματισμόν μου· καὶ συνεκαλύψατο βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον.

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.

Καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐνετείλατο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ τριάκοντα καὶ δυσὶ, λέγων, μὴ πολεμεῖτε μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν, ἀλλʼ ἢ τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ μονώτατον.

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.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων τὸν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπαν, φαίνεται βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ οὗτος, καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν πολεμῆσαι· καὶ ἀνέκραξεν Ἰωσαφάτ.

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.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ οὗτος, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.

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.

Καὶ ἐπέτεινεν εἷς τὸ τόξον εὐστόχως, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ ἀναμέσον τοῦ πνεύμονος καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ θώρακος· καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἡνιόχῳ αὐτοῦ, ἐπίστρεψον τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ ἐξάγαγέ με ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου, ὅτι τέτρωμαι.

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.

Καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξεναντίας Συρίας ἀπὸ πρωῒ ἕως ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἀπέχυνε τὸ αἷμα ἀπὸ τῆς πληγῆς εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ ἅρματος, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο τὸ αἷμα τῆς τροπῆς ἕως τοῦ κόλπου τοῦ ἅρματος.

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.

Καὶ ἔστη ὁ στρατοκῆρυξ δύνοντος τοῦ ἡλίου, λέγων, ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ πόλιν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν,

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

ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν, καὶ ἔθαψαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

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.

Καὶ ἀπένιψαν τὸ ἅρμα ἐπὶ τὴν κρήνην Σαμαρείας· καὶ ἐξέλιξαν αἱ ὗες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα, καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐλούσαντο ἐν τῷ αἵματι, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησε.

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?

Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀχαὰβ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησε, καὶ οἴκον ἐλεφάντινον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησε, καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ;

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

Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀχαὰβ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

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

Καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱὸς Ἀσὰ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν· ἐν ἔτει τετάρτῷ τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν

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.

Ἰωσαφὰτ, Υἱὸς τρίακοντα καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ· καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἀζουβὰ θυγάτηρ Σαλαΐ.

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.

Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάση ὁδῷ Ἀσὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου.

And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

Πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῇρεν· ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζε καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς.

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?

Καὶ εἰρήνευσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ μετὰ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ.

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

Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωσαφὰτ, καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν βασιλέων Ἰούδα;

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

—

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

—

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

—

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.

—

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.

Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωσαφὰτ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη παρὰ τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

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:

Καὶ Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς Ἀχαὰβ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· ἐν ἔτει ἑπτακαιδεκάτῳ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς Ἀχαὰβ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ δύο ἔτη.

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

Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῶ Ἀχαὰβ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὁδῷ Ἰεζάβελ τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις οἴκου Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ·

—

Καὶ ἐδούλευσε τοῖς Βααλὶμ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ παρώργισε τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ, κατὰ πάντα τὰ γενόμενα ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
