So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in Egypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt),

Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, “How do you advise me to answer these people?”

So they wore sackcloth around their waists and put ropes around their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’ ” And he said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”

So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!”

Then the city wall was broken through, and all the men of war fled at night by way of the gate between two walls, which was by the king’s garden, even though the Chaldeans were still encamped all around against the city. And the king went by way of the plain.

Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, saying, “How do you advise me to answer these people?”

So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!”

You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”

For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, “Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved.”

For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest

It stood still, But I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; There was silence; Then I heard a voice saying:

Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!

And I have waited, because they did not speak, Because they stood still and answered no more.

Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes, Like a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Those who hate me without a cause Are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, Being my enemies wrongfully; Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it.

You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still,

In spite of this they still sinned, And did not believe in His wondrous works.

Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel

A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah

They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,

If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.
