대하18:1
아합과의 동맹
대하 18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honor, and he allied
himself with Ahab by marriage.
대하 18:2 Some years later he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria. Ahab
slaughtered many sheep and cattle for him and th e people with him and
urged him to attack Ramoth Gilead.
대하 18:3 Ahab king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will
you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?" J ehoshaphat replied, "I am as you
are, and my people as your people; we will join you in the war."
대하18:4 거짓 선지자들의 예언
대하 18:4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "First seek
the counsel of the LORD."
대하 18:5 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets--four
hundred men--and asked them, "Shall we go to w ar against Ramoth Gilead,
or shall I refrain?" "Go," they answered, "for God will give it into the
k ing's hand."
대하 18:6 But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there not a prophet of the LORD
here whom we can inquire of?"
대하 18:7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still
one man 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 that," Jehoshaphat replied.
대하 18:8 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said,
"Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once."
대하 18:9 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 to the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before
them.
대하 18:10 Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns, and he
declared, "This is what the LORD says: 'With t hese you will gore the Arameans
until they are destroyed.'"
대하 18:11 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing.
"Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious," they said, "for the LORD will
give it into the king's hand."
대하18:12 선지자 미가야의 예언
대하 18:12 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him,
"Look, as one man the other prophets are pred icting success for the king.
Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably."
대하 18:13 But Micaiah said, "As surely as the LORD lives, I can tell
him only what my God says."
대하 18:14 When he arrived, the king asked him, "Micaiah, shall we
go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I ref rain?" "Attack and be victorious,"
he answered, "for they will be given into your hand."
대하 18:15 The king said to him, "How many times must I make you swear
to tell me nothing but the truth in the nam e of the LORD?"
대하 18:16 Then Micaiah answered, "I saw all Israel scattered on the
hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD said, 'These people have
no master. Let each one go home in peace.'"
대하 18:17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Didn't I tell you
that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?"
대하 18:18 Micaiah continued, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD:
I saw the LORD sitting on his throne with all the host of heaven standing
on his right and on his left.
대하 18:19 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.
대하 18:20 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and
said, 'I will entice him.' "'By what means?' the LORD asked.
대하 18:21 "'I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his
prophets,' he said. "'You will succeed in enticing him,' said the LORD.
'Go and do it.'
대하 18:22 "So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of
these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you."
대하 18:23 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah
in the face. "Which way did the spirit from t he LORD go when he went from
me to speak to you?" he asked.
대하 18:24 Micaiah replied, "You will find out on the day you go to
hide in an inner room."
대하 18:25 The king of Israel then ordered, "Take Micaiah and send
him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to J oash the king's son,
대하 18:26 and say, 'This is what the king says: Put this fellow in
prison and give him nothing but bread and water unt il I return safely.'"
대하 18:27 Micaiah declared, "If you ever return safely, the LORD has
not spoken through me." Then he added, "Mark my words, all you people!"
대하18:28 아합의 전사
대하 18:28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went
up to Ramoth Gilead.
대하 18:29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will enter the
battle in disguise, but you wear your royal r obes." So the king of Israel
disguised himself and went into battle.
대하 18:30 Now the king of Aram had ordered his chariot commanders,
"Do not fight with anyone, small or great, exc ept the king of Israel."
대하 18:31 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought,
"This is the king of Israel." So they t urned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat
cried out, and the LORD helped him. God drew them away from him,
대하 18:32 for when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the
king of Israel, they stopped pursuing him.
대하 18:33 But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel
between the sections of his armor. The king to ld the chariot driver, "Wheel
around and get me out of the fighting. I've been wounded."
대하 18:34 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. |
