1 Kings 22

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 There was a lul of three years, with no fighting between Aram and Israel.	1 και εκαθισεν τρια ετη και ουκ ην πολεμος ανα μεσον συριας και ανα μεσον ισραηλ
2 Then, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah paid a visit to the king of Israel.	2 και εγενηθη εν τω ενιαυτω τω τριτω και κατεβη ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα προς βασιλεα ισραηλ
3 The king of Israel said to his officers, 'You are aware that Ramoth in Gilead belongs to us? And yet wedo nothing to wrest it away from the king of Aram.'	3 και ειπεν βασιλευς ισραηλ προς τους παιδας αυτου ει οιδατε οτι ημιν ρεμμαθ γαλααδ και ημεις σιωπωμεν λαβειν αυτην εκ χειρος βασιλεως συριας
4 He said to Jehoshaphat, 'Wil you come with me to attack Ramoth in Gilead?' Jehoshaphat replied tothe king of Israel, 'I will be as you, my men as yours, my horses as yours.'	4 και ειπεν βασιλευς ισραηλ προς ιωσαφατ αναβηση μεθ' ημων εις ρεμμαθ γαλααδ εις πολεμον και ειπεν ιωσαφατ καθως εγω ουτως και συ καθως ο λαος μου ο λαος σου καθως οι ιπποι μου οι ιπποι σου
5 Jehoshaphat, however, said to the king of Israel, 'First, please enquire what the word of Yahweh is.'	5 και ειπεν ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα προς βασιλεα ισραηλ επερωτησατε δη σημερον τον κυριον
6 The king of Israel then cal ed the prophets together, about four hundred of them. 'Should I go andattack Ramoth in Gilead,' he asked, 'or should I hold back?' 'Go ahead,' they replied, 'for Yahweh has alreadygiven it to the king.'	6 και συνηθροισεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ παντας τους προφητας ως τετρακοσιους ανδρας και ειπεν αυτοις ο βασιλευς ει πορευθω εις ρεμμαθ γαλααδ εις πολεμον η επισχω και ειπαν αναβαινε και διδους δωσει κυριος εις χειρας του βασιλεως
7 Jehoshaphat, however, said, 'Is there no other prophet of Yahweh here, so that we can enquirethrough him?'	7 και ειπεν ιωσαφατ προς βασιλεα ισραηλ ουκ εστιν ωδε προφητης του κυριου και επερωτησομεν τον κυριον δι' αυτου
8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'There is one more man through whom we can consultYahweh, but I hate him because he never has a favourable prophecy for me, only unfavourable ones; he isMicaiah son of Imlah.' 'I hope the king's words are unjustified,' said Jehoshaphat.	8 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ προς ιωσαφατ ετι εστιν ανηρ εις του επερωτησαι τον κυριον δι' αυτου και εγω μεμισηκα αυτον οτι ου λαλει περι εμου καλα αλλ' η κακα μιχαιας υιος ιεμλα και ειπεν ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα μη λεγετω ο βασιλευς ουτως
9 The king of Israel then summoned a court official and said, 'Bring Micaiah son of Imlah immediately.'	9 και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ ευνουχον ενα και ειπεν ταχος μιχαιαν υιον ιεμλα
10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, wearing their robes,in an open space just outside the gate of Samaria, with al the prophets in a state of ecstasy before them.	10 και ο βασιλευς ισραηλ και ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα εκαθηντο ανηρ επι του θρονου αυτου ενοπλοι εν ταις πυλαις σαμαρειας και παντες οι προφηται επροφητευον ενωπιον αυτων
11 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, who had made himself some iron horns, said, 'Yahweh says, "With hornslike these you wil gore the Aramaeans til you make an end of them." '	11 και εποιησεν εαυτω σεδεκιας υιος χανανα κερατα σιδηρα και ειπεν ταδε λεγει κυριος εν τουτοις κερατιεις την συριαν εως συντελεσθη
12 And all the prophets cried ecstatical y in the same vein, saying, 'March on Ramoth in Gilead! Success is sure, for Yahweh has already given it to the king!'	12 και παντες οι προφηται επροφητευον ουτως λεγοντες αναβαινε εις ρεμμαθ γαλααδ και ευοδωσει και δωσει κυριος εις χειρας σου και τον βασιλεα συριας
13 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, 'Look here, what the prophets aresaying is uniformly favourable to the king. I hope you wil say the same as they do and speak favourably.'	13 και ο αγγελος ο πορευθεις καλεσαι τον μιχαιαν ελαλησεν αυτω λεγων ιδου δη λαλουσιν παντες οι προφηται εν στοματι ενι καλα περι του βασιλεως γινου δη και συ εις λογους σου κατα τους λογους ενος τουτων και λαλησον καλα
14 Micaiah said, 'As Yahweh lives, I shal speak as Yahweh tel s me!'	14 και ειπεν μιχαιας ζη κυριος οτι α αν ειπη κυριος προς με ταυτα λαλησω
15 When he came to the king, the king said, 'Micaiah, should we go and attack Ramoth in Gilead, orshould we hold back?' He replied, 'Go ahead! Success is sure, for Yahweh has already given it to the king!'	15 και ηλθεν προς τον βασιλεα και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς μιχαια ει αναβω εις ρεμμαθ γαλααδ εις πολεμον η επισχω και ειπεν αναβαινε και ευοδωσει και δωσει κυριος εις χειρα του βασιλεως
16 The king then said, 'How often must I put you on oath to tell me nothing but the truth in the name ofYahweh?'	16 και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς ποσακις εγω ορκιζω σε οπως λαλησης προς με αληθειαν εν ονοματι κυριου
17 Then he spoke out: I saw al Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. AndYahweh said, 'These have no master, let them all go safely home!'	17 και ειπεν μιχαιας ουχ ουτως εωρακα παντα τον ισραηλ διεσπαρμενον εν τοις ορεσιν ως ποιμνιον ω ουκ εστιν ποιμην και ειπεν κυριος ου κυριος τουτοις αναστρεφετω εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου εν ειρηνη
18 At this the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'Did I not tell you that he never gives me favourableprophecies, but only unfavourable ones?'	18 και ειπεν βασιλευς ισραηλ προς ιωσαφατ βασιλεα ιουδα ουκ ειπα προς σε ου προφητευει ουτος μοι καλα διοτι αλλ' η κακα
19 Micaiah went on, 'Now listen to the word of Yahweh. I saw Yahweh seated on his throne with thewhole array of heaven standing by him, on his right and on his left.	19 και ειπεν μιχαιας ουχ ουτως ουκ εγω ακουε ρημα κυριου ουχ ουτως ειδον τον κυριον θεον ισραηλ καθημενον επι θρονου αυτου και πασα η στρατια του ουρανου ειστηκει περι αυτον εκ δεξιων αυτου και εξ ευωνυμων αυτου
20 Yahweh said, "Who will entice Ahab into marching to his death at Ramoth in Gilead?" At which someanswered one way, and some another.	20 και ειπεν κυριος τις απατησει τον αχααβ βασιλεα ισραηλ και αναβησεται και πεσειται εν ρεμμαθ γαλααδ και ειπεν ουτος ουτως και ουτος ουτως
21 A spirit then came forward and stood before Yahweh and said, "I wil entice him."	21 και εξηλθεν πνευμα και εστη ενωπιον κυριου και ειπεν εγω απατησω αυτον και ειπεν προς αυτον κυριος εν τινι
22 "How?" Yahweh asked. He replied, "I shal go and be a deceptive spirit in the mouths of al hisprophets." Yahweh said, "You wil succeed in enticing him. Go and do it."	22 και ειπεν εξελευσομαι και εσομαι πνευμα ψευδες εν στοματι παντων των προφητων αυτου και ειπεν απατησεις και γε δυνησει εξελθε και ποιησον ουτως
23 And now, you see, Yahweh has put a deceptive spirit into the mouths of al your prophets here, for infact Yahweh has pronounced disaster on you.'	23 και νυν ιδου εδωκεν κυριος πνευμα ψευδες εν στοματι παντων των προφητων σου τουτων και κυριος ελαλησεν επι σε κακα
24 Zedekiah son of Chenaanah then came up, struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, 'Which way didYahweh's spirit leave me, to speak to you?'	24 και προσηλθεν σεδεκιου υιος χανανα και επαταξεν τον μιχαιαν επι την σιαγονα και ειπεν ποιον πνευμα κυριου το λαλησαν εν σοι
25 'That is what you will find out,' Micaiah retorted, 'the day you go from room to room, trying to hide.'	25 και ειπεν μιχαιας ιδου συ οψη εν τη ημερα εκεινη οταν εισελθης ταμιειον του ταμιειου του κρυβηναι
26 The king of Israel said, 'Seize Micaiah and hand him over to Amon, governor of the city, and Joash,the king's son,	26 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ λαβετε τον μιχαιαν και αποστρεψατε αυτον προς εμηρ τον αρχοντα της πολεως και τω ιωας υιω του βασιλεως
27 and say, "These are the king's orders: Put this man in prison and feed him on nothing but bread andwater until I am safely home." '	27 ειπον θεσθαι τουτον εν φυλακη και εσθιειν αυτον αρτον θλιψεως και υδωρ θλιψεως εως του επιστρεψαι με εν ειρηνη
28 Micaiah said, 'If you ever do get home safely, Yahweh has not spoken through me.'	28 και ειπεν μιχαιας εαν επιστρεφων επιστρεψης εν ειρηνη ουκ ελαλησεν κυριος εν εμοι
29 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah marched on Ramoth in Gilead.	29 και ανεβη βασιλευς ισραηλ και ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα μετ' αυτου εις ρεμμαθ γαλααδ
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'I shal disguise myself to go into battle, but you put on yourrobes.' So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.	30 και ειπεν βασιλευς ισραηλ προς ιωσαφατ βασιλεα ιουδα συγκαλυψομαι και εισελευσομαι εις τον πολεμον και συ ενδυσαι τον ιματισμον μου και συνεκαλυψατο ο βασιλευς ισραηλ και εισηλθεν εις τον πολεμον
31 Now, the king of Aram had given his chariot commanders the fol owing order, 'Do not attack anyoneof whatever rank, except the king of Israel.'	31 και βασιλευς συριας ενετειλατο τοις αρχουσι των αρματων αυτου τριακοντα και δυσιν λεγων μη πολεμειτε μικρον και μεγαν αλλ' η τον βασιλεα ισραηλ μονωτατον
32 So, when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, 'That is obviously the king ofIsrael,' and surrounded him to attack. But when Jehoshaphat shouted his war cry	32 και εγενετο ως ειδον οι αρχοντες των αρματων τον ιωσαφατ βασιλεα ιουδα και αυτοι ειπον φαινεται βασιλευς ισραηλ ουτος και εκυκλωσαν αυτον πολεμησαι και ανεκραξεν ιωσαφατ
33 the chariot commanders, realising that he was not the king of Israel, broke off their pursuit.	33 και εγενετο ως ειδον οι αρχοντες των αρματων οτι ουκ εστιν βασιλευς ισραηλ ουτος και απεστρεψαν απ' αυτου
34 Someone, however, drawing his bow without any special aim, shot the king of Israel between thejoints of his armour. 'Turn about!' said the king to his charioteer. 'Get me out of the fighting; I am col apsing.'	34 και ενετεινεν εις το τοξον ευστοχως και επαταξεν τον βασιλεα ισραηλ ανα μεσον του πνευμονος και ανα μεσον του θωρακος και ειπεν τω ηνιοχω αυτου επιστρεψον τας χειρας σου και εξαγαγε με εκ του πολεμου οτι τετρωμαι
35 But the battle grew fiercer as the day went on and the king had to be held upright in his chariot facingthe Aramaeans, the blood from the wound running into the bottom of the chariot, until in the evening he died.	35 και ετροπωθη ο πολεμος εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ο βασιλευς ην εστηκως επι του αρματος εξ εναντιας συριας απο πρωι εως εσπερας και απεχυννε το αιμα εκ της πληγης εις τον κολπον του αρματος και απεθανεν εσπερας και εξεπορευετο το αιμα της τροπης εως του κολπου του αρματος
36 At sundown a shout ran through the ranks, 'Every man back to his town, every man back to hiscountry!	36 και εστη ο στρατοκηρυξ δυνοντος του ηλιου λεγων εκαστος εις την εαυτου πολιν και εις την εαυτου γην
37 The king is dead.' He was taken to Samaria and in Samaria the king was buried.	37 οτι τεθνηκεν ο βασιλευς και ηλθον εις σαμαρειαν και εθαψαν τον βασιλεα εν σαμαρεια
38 They washed the chariot at the Pool of Samaria; the dogs licked up the blood, and the prostituteswashed in it, in accordance with the word which Yahweh had spoken.	38 και απενιψαν το αρμα επι την κρηνην σαμαρειας και εξελειξαν αι υες και οι κυνες το αιμα και αι πορναι ελουσαντο εν τω αιματι κατα το ρημα κυριου ο ελαλησεν
39 The rest of the history of Ahab, his entire career, the ivory house he erected, al the towns he built, isthis not recorded in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Israel?	39 και τα λοιπα των λογων αχααβ και παντα α εποιησεν και οικον ελεφαντινον ον ωκοδομησεν και πασας τας πολεις ας εποιησεν ουκ ιδου ταυτα γεγραπται εν βιβλιω λογων των ημερων των βασιλεων ισραηλ
40 When Ahab fel asleep with his ancestors, his son Ahaziah succeeded him.	40 και εκοιμηθη αχααβ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εβασιλευσεν οχοζιας υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
41 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.	41 και ιωσαφατ υιος ασα εβασιλευσεν επι ιουδα ετει τεταρτω τω αχααβ βασιλεως ισραηλ εβασιλευσεν
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for twenty-fiveyears in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.	42 ιωσαφατ υιος τριακοντα και πεντε ετων εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και εικοσι και πεντε ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου αζουβα θυγατηρ σελει
43 In every way he followed the example of his father Asa undeviatingly, doing what is pleasing toYahweh.	43 και επορευθη εν παση οδω ασα του πατρος αυτου ουκ εξεκλινεν απ' αυτης του ποιησαι το ευθες εν οφθαλμοις κυριου
44 The high places, however, were not abolished; the people stil offered sacrifice and incense on thehigh places.	44 πλην των υψηλων ουκ εξηρεν ετι ο λαος εθυσιαζεν και εθυμιων εν τοις υψηλοις
45 Jehoshaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.	45 και ειρηνευσεν ιωσαφατ μετα βασιλεως ισραηλ
46 The rest of the history of Jehoshaphat, the valour he showed, the wars he waged, is this not recordedin the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?	46 και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωσαφατ και αι δυναστειαι αυτου οσα εποιησεν ουκ ιδου ταυτα γεγραμμενα εν βιβλιω λογων των ημερων των βασιλεων ιουδα
47 The few male sacred prostitutes left over from the days of his father Asa, he expel ed from thecountry.	47 -
48 At the time, Edom had no king, and King	48 -
49 Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never made the voyage since theships were wrecked at Ezion-Geber.	49 -
50 Ahaziah son of Ahab then proposed to Jehoshaphat, 'Let my men go to sea with yours.' ButJehoshaphat would not agree.	50 -
51 When Jehoshaphat fel asleep with his ancestors he was buried in the City of his ancestor, David; hisson Jehoram succeeded him.	51 και εκοιμηθη ιωσαφατ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη παρα τοις πατρασιν αυτου εν πολει δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και εβασιλευσεν ιωραμ υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
52 Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king ofJudah, and reigned over Israel for two years.	52 και οχοζιας υιος αχααβ εβασιλευσεν επι ισραηλ εν σαμαρεια εν ετει επτακαιδεκατω ιωσαφατ βασιλει ιουδα και εβασιλευσεν εν ισραηλ ετη δυο
53 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh, by following the example of his father and mother, and ofJeroboam son of Nebat who had led Israel into sin.	53 και εποιησεν το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου και επορευθη εν οδω αχααβ του πατρος αυτου και εν οδω ιεζαβελ της μητρος αυτου και εν ταις αμαρτιαις οικου ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ
54 He served Baal and worshipped him, and provoked the anger of Yahweh God of Israel just as hisfather had done.	54 και εδουλευσεν τοις βααλιμ και προσεκυνησεν αυτοις και παρωργισεν τον κυριον θεον ισραηλ κατα παντα τα γενομενα εμπροσθεν αυτου .
