1 King Jehoshaphat had much money and a big name. He made family with King Ahab by a wedding. 2 Some years later he went to Ahab in Samaria. Ahab made a big meal and asked him to fight at Ramoth Gilead. ⚔️ 3 Ahab said, Will you go with me to fight? Jehoshaphat said, Yes. My people are like your people. 4 But Jehoshaphat said, Let us ask God first. 5 The king called 400 God men. They said, Go to war. God will help you win. ️ 6 Jehoshaphat said, Is there one more God man we can ask? 7 The king said, One man is left. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. I do not like him. He says bad of me. Jehoshaphat said, Do not say that. 8 The king said to a man, Go. Bring Micaiah now. ♂️ 9 The two kings sat in big seats in nice clothes at the city gate. All the God men spoke to them. 10 Zedekiah made horn things of iron. He said, God says, With these you will push the bad men and win. ✊ 11 All the other God men said the same. Go fight and you will win. ️⚔️ 12 The man who went to Micaiah said, All say good. You say good too. 13 Micaiah said, I will say only what God says. ️ 14 The king asked, Should we fight? Micaiah said, Go. You will win. ⚔️ 15 The king said, Tell the truth in God’s name! ☝️ 16 Micaiah said, I saw Israel like sheep with no leader. God said, They have no boss. Let all go home safe. ⛰️♂️✌️ 17 The king said to Jehoshaphat, See? He says bad of me. 18 Micaiah said, Hear God’s word. I saw God on His big seat. Many from heaven stood by Him. ☁️ 19 God said, Who will make Ahab go to that town and die there? Many gave plans. 20 One from heaven came and said, I will make him go. God said, How? ❓ 21 He said, I will put a lie in the mouths of the king’s men. God said, You will make it work. Go do it. ️➡️ 22 Micaiah said, So God let a lie be in these men. God has said bad will come to you. ⚠️ 23 Zedekiah hit Micaiah on the face and said, How did God’s word go to you, not me? 24 Micaiah said, You will know on the day you run to hide in a room. ♂️ 25 The king said, Take Micaiah to Amon the city boss, and to Joash the king’s son. ♂️️ 26 Say, Put him in jail. Give him bread and water only, till I come back safe. 27 Micaiah said, If you come back safe, then God did not speak by me. Hear this, all people! ️ 28 So the two kings went to Ramoth Gilead to fight. ️⚔️ 29 The king of Israel hid who he was. Jehoshaphat wore his king clothes. 30 The other king said to his cart leaders, Do not fight any man but the king of Israel. ️️ 31 They saw Jehoshaphat and thought, He is the king of Israel. They went to hit him. Jehoshaphat cried out. God helped him and made them turn away. ️✨↩️ 32 They saw he was not the king of Israel, so they stopped. ✋ 33 One man shot an arrow by chance. It hit the king of Israel. He said, Turn the cart. Take me out. I am hurt. 34 The fight went on all day. The king of Israel stood in his cart till night. At sun set he died. ⏳
