1They were chillin' for three years, no war between Syria and Israel. Vibes.

2Then in year three, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, rolled up to the king of Israel.

3The king of Israel was like, "Yo, Ramoth in Gilead is ours, why are we just sitting here? No cap."

4He asked Jehoshaphat, "You tryna battle at Ramoth-Gilead with me?" And Jehoshaphat was like, "I’m down, my crew’s your crew, my rides are your rides."

5Jehoshaphat told the king of Israel, "Yo, let’s ask the Lord what’s good today."

6So the king of Israel called up about 400 prophets and asked, "Should I go against Ramoth-Gilead or chill? They said, 'Pop off; the Lord's got your back.'"

7Jehoshaphat was like, "Aren't there any more prophets from the Lord we can ask?"

8The king of Israel replied, "There’s one dude, Micaiah, son of Imlah, but I can’t stand him; he never says good stuff about me, only bad." Jehoshaphat was like, "Chill, don’t say that."

9Then the king of Israel called for an officer and told him, "Yo, go get Micaiah, son of Imlah, quick."

10The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat sat on their thrones, dripped in their robes, chilling at the gate of Samaria, while all the prophets were vibing and prophesying in front of them.

11Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, made these iron horns and was like, "Yo, the Lord says you’re gonna push the Syrians hard, no cap."

12All the prophets were vibing, saying, "Go to Ramoth-gilead and pop off; the Lord's got your back, fam."

13The messenger who called Micaiah was like, "Yo, all the prophets are saying good stuff for the king, so you should too, just keep it positive."

14Micaiah was like, "As the Lord lives, whatever He tells me, that's what I'm gonna say, periodt."

15So he rolls up to the king. The king asked, "Micaiah, should we go to battle at Ramoth-gilead or nah?" Micaiah said, "Go for it, you’ll win, the Lord’s got this."

16The king was like, "How many times do I have to tell you to just keep it real in the name of the Lord?"

17Micaiah said, "I saw all Israel scattered like sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord was like, 'They don’t have a leader; let everyone go home in peace.'"

18The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, "Didn’t I say he’d only prophesy bad vibes for me?"

19Micaiah said, "Listen up, I saw the Lord chilling on His throne, with all the heavenly squad standing beside Him."

20The Lord was like, "Who’s gonna convince Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?" One said this, another said that, all trying to figure it out.

21A spirit pulled up and stood before the Lord, saying, "I gotchu, I’ll convince him."

22The Lord was like, "With what?" And the spirit replied, "I’ll roll out as a lying vibe in the mouths of all his prophets." The Lord said, "You’ll persuade him, for sure: go ahead and do your thing."

23So, peep this: the Lord dropped a lying spirit in the mouths of all those prophets, and He’s got some sus news for you.

24But Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, walked up and smacked Micaiah on the cheek, asking, "Which way did the Spirit of the Lord dip from me to chat with you?"

25Micaiah said, "You’ll see it for real on that day when you try to hide in a secret spot."

26The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah back to Amon, the city’s governor, and to Joash, the king's son;"

27And tell them, "The king says to throw this dude in prison and feed him that struggle bread and water until I roll back in peace."

28Micaiah said, "If you come back in peace, then the Lord didn’t speak through me. Listen up, everyone!"

29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, pulled up to Ramoth-gilead.

30The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, "I’ll go incognito into battle; you just rock your robes." So the king of Israel went all undercover and jumped into the fight.

31So the king of Syria told his 32 captains, "No cap, don’t fight anyone except the king of Israel."

32When the chariot captains saw Jehoshaphat, they were like, "For sure that’s the king of Israel," so they went after him, and Jehoshaphat was like, "Help!"

33But when they realized it wasn’t the king of Israel, they bounced back from chasing him.

34A random dude shot an arrow and hit the king of Israel right in the spot; he told his chariot driver, "Yo, turn me around, I’m hurt."

35The battle got real intense that day; the king stayed in his chariot against the Syrians and died later, with blood spilling out into the chariot.

36A shout went out to the whole army as the sun was setting, "Every dude back to his city and country, let’s go!"

37So the king died and was taken to Samaria; they buried him there, periodt.

38Someone cleaned the chariot in the Samaria pool, and the dogs licked up his blood, just like the Lord said would happen.

39Now, all the other things Ahab did, like his fancy ivory house and the cities he built, aren’t they written in the kings of Israel's chronicles?

40Ahab passed away, and his son Ahaziah took over, no cap.

41Jehoshaphat, Asa's kid, started flexing as king over Judah in Ahab's fourth year. Major vibes.

42Dude was 35 when he took the throne, and he ruled for 25 years in Jerusalem. His mom was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi, no cap.

43He walked the straight path like his dad Asa, keeping it real in the Lord's eyes; but those high places? Still a vibe for burning incense, fr.

44Jehoshaphat and the king of Israel were like, "Let’s chill," and made peace.

45The rest of Jehoshaphat's moves and how he flexed in battle? Bet that's in the chronicles of Judah's kings.

46He kicked out the leftover sodomites from his dad Asa's days. Savage.

47No king in Edom, just a deputy holding it down.

48Jehoshaphat built ships to hit up Ophir for gold, but they got wrecked at Ezion–geber. Total sus.

49Ahaziah, Ahab's son, was like, "Yo, let my crew roll with yours in the ships," but Jehoshaphat was not down.

50Jehoshaphat passed away and got laid to rest with his fam in David's city, and then his son Jehoram took over. Periodt.

51Ahaziah, Ahab's kid, starts flexing as king over Israel in Samaria during Jehoshaphat's seventeenth year, and he vibes for two years.

52Dude was sus in the Lord's eyes, following his fam's bad vibes and Jeroboam's lead, making Israel trip up.

53He was all about that Baal life, worshipping him and making the Lord mad, just like his pops did.

1And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

2And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

3And 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?

4And 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.

5And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day.

6Then 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.

7And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might enquire of him?

8And 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.

9Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.

10And 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.

11And 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.

12And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth–gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hand.

13And 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.

14And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak.

15So 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.

16And 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?

17And 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.

18And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

19And 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.

20And 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.

21And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.

22And 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.

23Now 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.

24But 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?

25And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

26And 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;

27And 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.

28And 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.

29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth–gilead.

30And 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.

31But 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.

32And 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.

33And 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.

34And 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.

35And 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.

36And 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.

37So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

38And 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.

39Now 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?

40So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

41And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

42Jehoshaphat 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.

43And 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.

44And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

45Now 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?

46And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.

47There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.

48Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion–geber.

49Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

50And 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.

51Ahaziah 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.

52And 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:

53For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
