I Kings 22:28
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology

||
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? |
||
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day. |
||
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might enquire of him? |
||
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. |
||
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. |
||
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. |
||
¶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. |
||
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. |
||
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. |
||
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. |
||
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. |
||
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. |
||
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. |
||
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth–gilead. |
||
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. |
||
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. |
||
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. |

||
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. |

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