2 Chronicles 18

Gen Z: 2 Chronicles 18

1Jehoshaphat was stacked with cash and clout, and linked up with Ahab, no cap.

2After a minute, he rolled down to Ahab in Samaria. Ahab threw a feast with sheep and oxen for him and his crew, trying to get him to pop off to Ramoth–gilead.

3Ahab, the king of Israel, asked Jehoshaphat, "You down to roll with me to Ramoth–gilead?" Jehoshaphat replied, "We’re vibing the same, my people are your people; let’s ride into battle together."

4Jehoshaphat told the king of Israel, "Yo, let’s ask the Lord what’s good today."

5So, the king of Israel gathered 400 prophets and asked them, "Should we hit up Ramoth–gilead for battle, or nah?" They were like, "Go for it; God’s got your back."

6But Jehoshaphat was like, "Aren’t there any other prophets of the Lord we can ask?"

7The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There’s one dude we can ask, but I’m not a fan of him; he always keeps it real with bad news, that’s Micaiah, son of Imla." Jehoshaphat was like, "Chill, don’t say that."

8So the king of Israel called one of his guys and said, "Yo, go fetch Micaiah, son of Imla, quick."

9The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat sat on their thrones, dripped out in their robes, chilling at the gate of Samaria while all the prophets were vibing and prophesying in front of them.

10Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, crafted some iron horns and was like, "The Lord says you’ll use these to push Syria until they’re done."

11All the prophets were like, "Go hit up Ramoth–gilead and get that W, 'cause the Lord's got your back."

12The messenger told Micaiah, "Yo, the prophets are all hyping the king up; just vibe with them and say something good."

13Micaiah was like, "Fr, I’m only gonna say what God tells me."

14When he rolled up to the king, the king asked, "Micaiah, should we dip to Ramoth–gilead for battle or nah?" He replied, "Go for it, you'll get the dub."

15The king was like, "How many times do I gotta tell you to keep it 100 with me in the Lord's name?"

16Then he said, "I saw all of Israel scattered like sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord was like, 'They got no leader; let everyone bounce back home in peace.'"

17The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, "Didn’t I say he wouldn’t drop anything good, just bad vibes?"

18He said again, "Listen up, I saw the Lord chilling on His throne, with all the heavenly squad on His right and left."

19The Lord asked, "Who’s gonna convince Ahab, king of Israel, to go up and catch that L at Ramoth–gilead?" One said this, another said that.

20Then a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord, and said, "I’ll hype him up." The Lord asked, "How you gonna do that?"

21He was like, "I'ma go be a sus spirit in all his prophets' mouths." And the Lord was like, "You do you, fam. Go pop off."

22So, check it, the Lord dropped a lying spirit in these prophets' mouths, and He’s not vibing with you, no cap.

23Then Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, rolled up and smacked Micaiah on the cheek, like, "Which way did the Spirit of the Lord dip from me to chat with you?"

24Micaiah was like, "You’ll see when you sneak off to hide in your little room, fr."

25Then the king of Israel was like, "Yo, take Micaiah back to Amon, the city’s governor, and to Joash, the king’s son."

26And tell him, "The king says to toss this dude in prison and give him only bread and water till I roll back in peace."

27Micaiah was like, "If you come back in peace, then the Lord didn't speak through me. Listen up, everyone."

28So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat from Judah pulled up to Ramoth-gilead.

29The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, "I’m gonna disguise myself for the battle; you just wear your royal drip." So he masked up, and they headed to the fight.

30The king of Syria told his chariot captains, "Don’t mess with anyone except the king of Israel, bet."

31So, like, when the chariot squad saw Jehoshaphat, they were like, "That's the king of Israel, fam." They rolled up to fight, but Jehoshaphat was like, "Help!" and the Lord had his back, making them dip.

32Then, when the chariot captains figured out he wasn't the king of Israel, they were like, "Nah, we out," and bounced.

33A random dude took a shot with a bow and hit the king of Israel right where it hurts. He told his chariot driver, "Yo, turn this ride around, I'm hurt."

34The battle got wild that day, but the king of Israel just held it down in his chariot against the Syrians until sunset, and when the sun dipped, he was donezo.

KJV: 2 Chronicles 18

1Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.

2And 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 Ramoth–gilead.

3And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth–gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.

4And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day.

5Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.

6But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might enquire of him?

7And 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.

8And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

9And 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.

10And 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.

11And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth–gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

12And 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 theirs, and speak thou good.

13And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

14And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

15And 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?

16Then 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.

17And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?

18Again 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.

19And the Lord said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth–gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

20Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?

21And 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.

22Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.

23Then 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?

24And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

25Then 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;

26And 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.

27And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the Lord spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.

28So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth–gilead.

29And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

30Now 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.

31And 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.

32For 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.

33And 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.

34And 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.
