历代志下 18
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
南北兩國聯合攻打拉末(A)
18 約沙法的財富很多，極有尊榮，他和亞哈也結了親。 2 過了幾年，他下到撒瑪利亞去見亞哈。亞哈為他和跟從他的人宰了很多牛羊，又慫恿他一同上去攻打基列的拉末。 3 以色列王亞哈問猶大王約沙法：“你願意和我一同到基列的拉末去嗎？”他回答：“你我不分彼此；我的人民就是你的人民；我必和你一同作戰。”
以色列的假先知都預言戰勝(B)
4 約沙法對以色列王說：“請你先求問耶和華的話。” 5 於是以色列王召集了四百位先知，問他們：“我們可以到基列的拉末去作戰嗎？還是不要去呢？”他們回答：“你可以上去， 神必把那城交在王的手裡。” 6 約沙法問：“這裡不是還有一位耶和華的先知嗎？我們也可以向他求問。” 7 以色列王回答約沙法說：“還有一個人，我們可以向他求問耶和華；只是我恨他，因為他對我說的預言，都是凶話，不是吉話。這人就是音拉的兒子米該雅。”約沙法說：“王不要這樣說。” 8 於是以色列王召了一個太監來，說：“快去把音拉的兒子米該雅召來。” 9 那時，以色列王和猶大王約沙法各自坐在王位上，穿著朝服，坐在撒瑪利亞城門口的廣場上；所有的先知都在他們面前說預言。 10 基拿拿的兒子西底家為自己做了些鐵角，說：“耶和華這樣說：‘你要用這些鐵角牴觸亞蘭人，直到把他們完全消滅。’” 11 所有的先知也都這樣預言說：“你可以上基列的拉末去，必得勝利！因為耶和華必把那城交在王的手裡。”
只有米該雅預言戰敗(C)
12 那去召米該雅的使者對米該雅說：“看哪，這裡的眾先知都異口同聲地對王說吉話，請你與他們一樣說吉話。” 13 米該雅說：“我指著永活的耶和華起誓，我的 神說甚麼，我就說甚麼。” 14 米該雅來到王那裡，王問他：“米該雅啊，我們可以到基列的拉末作戰嗎？還是不要去呢？”他回答：“可以上去，一定得勝，他們必交在你們手裡。” 15 王對他說：“我要囑咐你多少次，你才會奉耶和華的名對我只說真話呢？” 16 米該雅說：
“我看見以色列人四散在山上，
好像沒有牧人的羊群一樣。
耶和華說：‘這些人既然沒有主人，
使他們平平安安各自回家去吧！’”
17 以色列王對約沙法說：“我不是早告訴你，他對我說的預言，總沒有吉話，只說凶話嗎？” 18 米該雅說：“所以你們要聽耶和華的話。我看見耶和華坐在寶座上，天上的萬軍侍立在他左右。 19 耶和華說：‘誰去引誘以色列王亞哈上去，好使他倒斃在基列的拉末呢？’有人這樣說，也有人那樣說。 20 後來有一個靈出來，站在耶和華面前，說：‘我去引誘他。’耶和華問他：‘你怎樣引誘他呢？’ 21 他回答：‘我要出去，在他眾先知的口裡成為謊言的靈。’耶和華說：‘你必能引誘他，並且可以成功；你去這樣行吧。’ 22 所以現在耶和華把謊言的靈放在你這些先知的口裡，並且耶和華已宣告災禍必臨到你。”
米該雅受辱被囚(D)
23 基拿拿的兒子西底家走前來，打米該雅的臉，說：“耶和華的靈是怎樣離開了我，去與你說話呢？” 24 米該雅說：“你進密室躲藏的那一天，就必看見了。” 25 以色列王說：“把米該雅帶回去，交給市長亞們和王的兒子約阿施， 26 說：‘王這樣吩咐：把這人囚在監裡，少給他食物和水，直到我平平安安回來。’” 27 米該雅說：“如果你真的可以平平安安回來，那麼耶和華就沒有藉著我說話了。”他又說：“眾民啊，你們都要聽！”
亞哈陣亡(E)
28 於是，以色列王和猶大王約沙法上基列的拉末去了。 29 以色列王對約沙法說：“我要改裝上陣，你可以仍穿朝服。”於是以色列王改了裝，他們就上陣去了。 30 原來亞蘭王曾經吩咐他的戰車隊長說：“無論是大小的將兵，你們都不要和他們交戰，只管攻擊以色列王。” 31 眾戰車隊長看見約沙法，就都心裡說：“這必是以色列王。”於是都繞過去攻擊他。約沙法呼救，耶和華就幫助他； 神又使敵人離開他。 32 眾戰車隊長見他不是以色列王，就轉回去，不再追擊他了。 33 有一人隨意拉弓，竟射進了以色列王的鎧甲中間的縫隙裡。王對駕車的說：“你把車轉過來，載我出陣吧，因為我受了重傷。” 34 那天戰事越來越激烈；以色列王勉強站在戰車上，對抗亞蘭人，直到黃昏。日落的時候，王就死了。
2 Chronicles 18
Darby Translation
18 And Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
2 And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab, to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and urged him to go up against Ramoth-Gilead.
3 And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead? And he said to him, I am as thou, and my people as thy people; and [I will be] with thee in the war.
4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.
5 And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will give it into the king's hand.
6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?
7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but always evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.
12 And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and declare good.
13 And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what my God shall say, that will I declare.
14 And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they will be given into your hands.
15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?
16 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?
18 And he said, Hear ye therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left;
19 and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith?
21 And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.
22 And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Which way now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?
24 And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
25 And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
26 and ye shall say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
27 And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!
28 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
30 And the king of Syria commanded the captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.
31 And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, That is the king of Israel; and they surrounded him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him; and God diverted them from him.
32 And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33 And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
34 And the battle increased that day; and the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even; and about the time of the going down of the sun he died.
