아합에 대한 예언자 미가야의 경고
18 그러나 여호사밧이 부귀와 영화를 누리게 되자 그는 혼인으로 아합의 집안과 인연을 맺었다.
2 몇 년 후에 여호사밧이 사마리아로 가서 아합왕을 예방했을 때 아합왕은 여호사밧과 그의 수행원들을 위해 수많은 양과 소를 잡아 큰 잔치를 베풀어 주고 합세하여 길르앗의 라못을 치자고 그를 설득하였다.
3-5 그러자 여호사밧왕은 “좋습니다. 내가 당신과 함께 싸우러 가겠습니다. 물론 나와 내 백성은 당신과 당신의 백성이 하는 대로 하겠습니다. 하지만 먼저 여호와께 물어 봅시다” 하고 대답하였다. 그래서 아합왕은 예언자 400명을 불러모으고 그들에게 “우리가 길르앗의 라못을 치러 가야 하겠느냐 가지 말아야 하겠느냐?” 하고 물었다. 그러자 그들은 “치러 가십시오. 하나님이 그 성을 왕에게 넘겨 주실 것입니다” 하고 대답하였다.
6 그러나 여호사밧이 이스라엘 왕에게 물었다. “우리가 물어 볼 다른 예언자는 없습니까?”
7 “이믈라의 아들 미가야라는 자가 있긴 합니다만 그는 나에게 좋은 일은 예언하지 않고 언제나 나쁜 일만 예언하므로 내가 그를 좋아하지 않습니다.” “그런 말씀은 하지 마십시오.”
8 그래서 아합왕은 신하 하나를 불러 즉시 가서 이믈라의 아들 미가야를 데려오라고 명령하였다.
9 이스라엘 왕과 유다 왕은 왕복을 입고 사마리아 성문 입구 타작 마당에 마련된 왕좌에 앉았고 모든 예언자들은 그들 앞에서 예언하였다.
10 그 예언자들 중 그나아나의 아들 시드기야라는 자는 철뿔을 만들어 “여호와께서는 왕이 이것으로 시리아군을 쳐서 전멸시킬 것이라고 말씀하셨습니다” 하였고
11 다른 모든 예언자들도 같은 말을 하며 “올라가서 길르앗의 라못을 치십시오. 여호와께서 그 성을 왕에게 넘겨 주실 것입니다” 하고 예언하였다.
12 한편 미가야를 부르러 간 신하는 그에게 “모든 예언자들이 왕에게 좋은 일만 예언하는데 당신도 제발 그렇게 해 주십시오” 하고 부탁하였다.
13 그러나 미가야는 “내가 살아 계신 여호와의 이름으로 맹세하지만 나는 여호와께서 나에게 말씀하시는 것만 말할 것이오” 하고 대답하였다.
14 미가야가 도착하자 왕이 그에게 물었다. “미가야야, 우리가 길르앗의 라못을 치러 가야 하겠느냐 가지 말아야 하겠느냐?” “치러 가십시오. 물론 승리하실 것입니다. 여호와께서 그 성을 왕에게 넘겨 주실 테니까요.”
15 “네가 여호와의 이름으로 말하려거든 나에게 진실을 말하라. 내가 몇 번이나 너에게 말해야 되겠느냐?”
16 “내가 보니 모든 이스라엘 백성이 목자 없는 양처럼 산에 뿔뿔이 흩어졌는데 여호와께서는 이 사람들이 지도자가 없으므로 평안히 집으로 돌아가게 하라고 말씀하셨습니다.”
17 그때 아합이 여호사밧에게 말하였다. “저 사람이 나에게 좋은 일은 예언하지 않고 언제나 나쁜 일만 예언한다고 말씀드리지 않았습니까?”
18 그러자 미가야가 다시 이렇게 말하였다. “이제 왕은 여호와의 말씀을 들으십시오. 내가 보니 여호와께서 하늘의 보좌에 앉으셨고 그 주위에는 수많은 천사들이 서 있었습니다.
19-20 이때 여호와께서 ‘누가 아합을 꾀어내 어 길르앗의 라못에 가서 죽게 하겠느냐?’ 하고 물으셨습니다. 그러자 천사들은 이러쿵저러쿵하며 서로 자기 의견을 내세웠습니다. 결국 한 영이 여호와 앞에 나와서 ‘내가 그를 꾀어내겠습니다’ 라고 말했습니다. 그때 여호와께서 그에게 ‘어떤 방법으로 하겠느냐?’ 하고 물으시자
21 그 영은 ‘내가 가서 거짓말하는 영이 되어 아합의 모든 예언자들이 거짓말을 하도록 하겠습니다’ 하고 대답하였습니다. 그래서 여호와께서는 ‘좋다. 가서 그를 꾀어내어라. 너는 성공할 것이다’ 하고 말씀하셨습니다.
22 그러므로 여호와께서는 이 예언자들이 왕에게 거짓말을 하도록 하셨으나 사실은 왕에게 재앙을 선언하신 것입니다.”
23 그때 그나아나의 아들 시드기야가 다가와서 미가야의 뺨을 치며 “언제 여호와의 성령께서 나를 떠나 너에게 말씀하셨느냐?” 하고 물었다.
24 그러자 미가야는 “네가 골방에 들어가 숨을 때에 알게 될 것이다” 하고 대답하였다.
25 그때 아합왕이 자기 신하에게 명령하였다. “미가야를 체포하여 성주 아몬과 왕자 요아스에게 끌고 가서
26 이놈을 감옥에 가두고 내가 전쟁에서 무사히 돌아올 때까지 [a]죽지 않을 정도의 빵과 물만 먹이라고 일러 주어라.”
27 그러자 미가야는 “만일 왕이 무사히 돌아오실 것 같으면 여호와께서 나를 통해 그런 말씀을 하시지 않으셨을 것입니다” 하고 그 곳에 모인 사람들을 향하여 “여러분, 내가 한 말을 귀담아 두시오” 하였다.
아합의 죽음
28 이스라엘의 아합왕과 유다의 여호사밧왕이 길르앗의 라못을 치려고 올라갔다.
29 그때 아합은 여호사밧에게 “나는 변장을 하고 싸울 테니 당신은 왕복을 입으십시오” 하고 사병들이 입는 군복으로 갈아 입고 전쟁터로 나갔다.
30 한편 시리아 왕은 전차 부대 대장들에게 졸병들과 싸우지 말고 이스라엘 왕에게만 집중 공격을 하라고 명령하였다.
31 그들이 여호사밧을 보았을 때 그가 이스라엘 왕인 줄 알고 그를 치려고 하였다. 그러나 여호사밧이 여호와께 구해 달라고 소리를 지르자 여호와께서는 그를 도와 그들을 물러나게 하셨다.
32 그래서 그들은 그가 이스라엘 왕이 아닌 것을 알고 추격을 중단하였다.
33 그러나 마구 쏜 적병의 화살 하나가 아합왕의 갑옷 솔기에 꽂혔다. 이때 왕이 자기 전차병에게 “내가 부상을 입었다. 전차를 돌려 여기서 빠져나가자” 하였으나
34 하루 종일 전투가 치열하므로 아합왕은 자기 전차에 버티고 서서 시리아군과 맞서 싸우다가 해질 무렵에 죽고 말았다.

2 Chronicles 18
King James Version
18 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
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 he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.
3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.
4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day.
5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.
6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might enquire of him?
7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the Lord: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake 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 their's, and speak thou good.
13 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.
14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the Lord?
16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
19 And the Lord said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak unto thee?
24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
26 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 return in peace.
27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the Lord spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.
33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
2 Chronicles 18
New King James Version
Micaiah Warns Ahab(A)
18 Jehoshaphat (B)had riches and honor in abundance; and by marriage he (C)allied himself with (D)Ahab. 2 (E)After some years he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria; and Ahab killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people who were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead. 3 So Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?”
And he answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.”
4 Also Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, (F)“Please inquire for the word of the Lord today.”
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?”
So they said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.”
6 But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of (G)Him?”[a]
7 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!”
8 Then the king of Israel called one of his officers and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imla quickly!”
9 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, clothed in their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 10 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made (H)horns of iron for himself; and he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’ ”
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hand.”
12 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Therefore please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement.”
13 And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, (I)whatever my God says, that I will speak.”
14 Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?”
And he said, “Go and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand!”
15 So the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?”
16 Then he said, “I saw all Israel (J)scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no (K)shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’ ”
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
18 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His (L)throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right hand and His left. 19 And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. 20 Then a (M)spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ 21 So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’ 22 Therefore look! (N)The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and (O)struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the spirit from the Lord go from me to speak to you?”
24 And Micaiah said, “Indeed you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide!”
25 Then the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son; 26 and say, ‘Thus says the king: (P)“Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I return in peace.” ’ ”
27 But Micaiah said, “If you ever return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by (Q)me.” And he said, “Take heed, all you people!”
Ahab Dies in Battle(R)
28 So 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 (S)disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots who were with him, saying, “Fight with no one small or great, but only with the king of Israel.”
31 So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they surrounded him to attack; but Jehoshaphat (T)cried out, and the Lord helped him, and God diverted them from him. 32 For so it was, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 33 Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the [b]joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.” 34 The battle increased that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Syrians until evening; and about the time of sunset he died.

Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab(A)
18 Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honor,(B) and he allied(C) himself with Ahab(D) by marriage. 2 Some years later he went down to see Ahab in Samaria. Ahab slaughtered many sheep and cattle for him and the people with him and urged him to attack Ramoth Gilead. 3 Ahab king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?”
Jehoshaphat replied, “I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will join you in the war.” 4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “First seek the counsel of the Lord.”
5 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets—four hundred men—and asked them, “Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I not?”
“Go,” they answered, “for God will give it into the king’s hand.”
6 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here whom we can inquire of?”
7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.”
“The king should not say such a thing,” Jehoshaphat replied.
8 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
9 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them. 10 Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns, and he declared, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.’”
11 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. “Attack Ramoth Gilead(E) and be victorious,” they said, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.”
12 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the other prophets without exception are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably.”
13 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what my God says.”(F)
14 When he arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I not?”
“Attack and be victorious,” he answered, “for they will be given into your hand.”
15 The king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?”
16 Then Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel(G) scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd,(H) and the Lord said, ‘These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’”
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?”
18 Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne(I) with all the multitudes of heaven standing on his right and on his left. 19 And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’
“One suggested this, and another that. 20 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’
“‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.
21 “‘I will go and be a deceiving spirit(J) in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.
“‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’
22 “So now the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours.(K) The Lord has decreed disaster for you.”
23 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped(L) Micaiah in the face. “Which way did the spirit from[a] the Lord go when he went from me to speak to you?” he asked.
24 Micaiah replied, “You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room.”
25 The king of Israel then ordered, “Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king’s son, 26 and say, ‘This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison(M) and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.’”
27 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!”
Ahab Killed at Ramoth Gilead(N)
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will enter the battle in disguise, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised(O) himself and went into battle.
30 Now the king of Aram had ordered his chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.” 31 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, “This is the king of Israel.” So they turned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out,(P) and the Lord helped him. God drew them away from him, 32 for when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they stopped pursuing him.
33 But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the breastplate and the scale armor. The king told the chariot driver, “Wheel around and get me out of the fighting. I’ve been wounded.” 34 All day long the battle raged, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Arameans until evening. Then at sunset he died.(Q)
