The Third Book of Kingdoms, Chapter 22ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Γ′ ΚΒ′

καὶ ἐκάθισεν τρία ἔτη καὶ οὐκ ἦν πόλεμος ἀνὰ μέσον Συρίας καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ισραηλ

And he remained three years, and there was no war between Syria and Israel.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ τρίτῳ καὶ κατέβη Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ

And it came to pass in the third year that Jehoshaphat king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ εἰ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡμῖν Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν λαβεῖν αὐτὴν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας

And the king of Israel said to his servants, 'Do you know that Ramoth-Gilead is ours, and we keep silent about taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?'

καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ ἀναβήσῃ μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ καθὼς ἐγὼ οὕτως καὶ σύ καθὼς ὁ λαός μου ὁ λαός σου καθὼς οἱ ἵπποι μου οἱ ἵπποι σου

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'Will you go up with us to Ramoth-Gilead to war?' And Jehoshaphat said, 'As I am, so are you; as my people, so your people; as my horses, so your horses.'

καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ ἐπερωτήσατε δὴ σήμερον τὸν κύριον

And Jehoshaphat king of Judah said to the king of Israel, 'Inquire, please, today of the LORD.'

καὶ συνήθροισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας ὡς τετρακοσίους ἄνδρας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω καὶ εἶπαν ἀνάβαινε καὶ διδοὺς δώσει κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως

And the king of Israel gathered all the prophets, about four hundred men, and the king said to them, 'Shall I go to Ramoth-Gilead to war, or shall I forbear?' And they said, 'Go up, and the LORD will surely give it into the hand of the king.'

καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπερωτήσομεν τὸν κύριον δι᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, 'Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD through him?'

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ ἔτι ἔστιν ἀνὴρ εἷς τοῦ ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν κύριον δι᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ μεμίσηκα αὐτόν ὅτι οὐ λαλεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ καλά ἀλλ᾿ ἢ κακά Μιχαιας υἱὸς Ιεμλα καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα μὴ λεγέτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'There is yet one man to inquire of the LORD through him, but I hate him, because he does not speak good concerning me, but rather evil — Micaiah son of Imlah.' And Jehoshaphat king of Judah said, 'Let not the king say so.'

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ εὐνοῦχον ἕνα καὶ εἶπεν τάχος Μιχαιαν υἱὸν Ιεμλα

And the king of Israel called one eunuch and said, 'Quickly, Micaiah son of Imlah!'

καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα ἐκάθηντο ἀνὴρ ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ ἔνοπλοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting, each man upon his throne, in arms, at the gates of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Σεδεκιας υἱὸς Χανανα κέρατα σιδηρᾶ καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐν τούτοις κερατιεῖς τὴν Συρίαν ἕως συντελεσθῇ

And Zedekiah son of Chanana made for himself iron horns and said, 'Thus says the LORD: With these you shall gore Syria until it is finished off.'

καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον οὕτως λέγοντες ἀνάβαινε εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ καὶ εὐοδώσει καὶ δώσει κύριος εἰς χεῖράς σου καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Συρίας

And all the prophets were prophesying so, saying, 'Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and you shall prosper, and the LORD will give into your hand also the king of Syria.'

καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς καλέσαι τὸν Μιχαιαν ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ λέγων ἰδοὺ δὴ λαλοῦσιν πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἑνὶ καλὰ περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως γίνου δὴ καὶ σὺ εἰς λόγους σου κατὰ τοὺς λόγους ἑνὸς τούτων καὶ λάλησον καλά

And the messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, 'Behold now, all the prophets speak good with one mouth concerning the king; let your words be, please, like the words of one of these, and speak good.'

καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας ζῇ κύριος ὅτι ἃ ἂν εἴπῃ κύριος πρός με ταῦτα λαλήσω

And Micaiah said, 'As the LORD lives, whatever the LORD says to me, that I will speak.'

καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς Μιχαια εἰ ἀναβῶ εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω καὶ εἶπεν ἀνάβαινε καὶ εὐοδώσει καὶ δώσει κύριος εἰς χεῖρα τοῦ βασιλέως

And he came to the king, and the king said to him, 'Micaiah, shall I go up to Ramoth-Gilead to war, or shall I forbear?' And he said, 'Go up, and you shall prosper, and the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.'

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς ποσάκις ἐγὼ ὁρκίζω σε ὅπως λαλήσῃς πρός με ἀλήθειαν ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου

And the king said to him, 'How many times must I adjure you to speak to me the truth in the name of the LORD?'

καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας οὐχ οὕτως ἑώρακα πάντα τὸν Ισραηλ διεσπαρμένον ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ὡς ποίμνιον ᾧ οὐκ ἔστιν ποιμήν καὶ εἶπεν κύριος οὐ κύριος τούτοις ἀναστρεφέτω ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ

And Micaiah said, 'Not so. I have seen all Israel scattered on the mountains like a flock that has no shepherd. And the LORD said, "These have no master; let each return to his house in peace."'

καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα οὐκ εἶπα πρὸς σέ οὐ προφητεύει οὗτός μοι καλά διότι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ κακά

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, 'Did I not say to you, He does not prophesy good concerning me, but rather evil?'

καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας οὐχ οὕτως οὐκ ἐγώ ἄκουε ῥῆμα κυρίου οὐχ οὕτως εἶδον τὸν κύριον θεὸν Ισραηλ καθήμενον ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ στρατιὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εἱστήκει περὶ αὐτὸν ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ εὐωνύμων αὐτοῦ

And Micaiah said, 'Not so, not I. Hear the word of the LORD! Not so: I saw the LORD, the God of Israel, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing about him, on his right and on his left.'

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τίς ἀπατήσει τὸν Αχααβ βασιλέα Ισραηλ καὶ ἀναβήσεται καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ καὶ εἶπεν οὗτος οὕτως καὶ οὗτος οὕτως

And the LORD said, 'Who will deceive Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead?' And one said this way, and another that way.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν ἐγὼ ἀπατήσω αὐτόν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν κύριος ἐν τίνι

And a spirit came forth and stood before the LORD and said, 'I will deceive him.' And the LORD said to him, 'By what means?'

καὶ εἶπεν ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ ἔσομαι πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἀπατήσεις καί γε δυνήσει ἔξελθε καὶ ποίησον οὕτως

And it said, 'I will go forth and become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, 'You will deceive him, and you will indeed prevail; go forth and do so.'

καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἔδωκεν κύριος πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν σου τούτων καὶ κύριος ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακά

And now, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil against you.

καὶ προσῆλθεν Σεδεκιου υἱὸς Χανανα καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν Μιχαιαν ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα καὶ εἶπεν ποῖον πνεῦμα κυρίου τὸ λαλῆσαν ἐν σοί

And Zedekiah son of Chanana came near and struck Micaiah on the jaw and said, 'What sort of Spirit of the LORD is this that has spoken in you?'

καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψῃ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὅταν εἰσέλθῃς ταμίειον τοῦ ταμιείου τοῦ κρυβῆναι

And Micaiah said, 'Behold, you yourself shall see on that day, when you go into an inner chamber of a chamber to hide.'

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ λάβετε τὸν Μιχαιαν καὶ ἀποστρέψατε αὐτὸν πρὸς Εμηρ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς πόλεως καὶ τῷ Ιωας υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως

And the king of Israel said, 'Take Micaiah and turn him back to Emer the ruler of the city and to Joash the king's son,'

εἰπὸν θέσθαι τοῦτον ἐν φυλακῇ καὶ ἐσθίειν αὐτὸν ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ θλίψεως ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι με ἐν εἰρήνῃ

and say, 'Put this man in prison, and let him eat bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I return in peace.'

καὶ εἶπεν Μιχαιας ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν εἰρήνῃ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν ἐμοί

And Micaiah said, 'If you indeed return in peace, the LORD has not spoken in me.'

καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ρεμμαθ Γαλααδ

And the king of Israel went up, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah with him, to Ramoth-Gilead.

καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα συγκαλύψομαι καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν πόλεμον καὶ σὺ ἔνδυσαι τὸν ἱματισμόν μου καὶ συνεκαλύψατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, 'I will disguise myself and enter the battle, but you put on my robe.' And the king of Israel disguised himself and entered the battle.

καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐνετείλατο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ τριάκοντα καὶ δυσὶν λέγων μὴ πολεμεῖτε μικρὸν καὶ μέγαν ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ μονώτατον

And the king of Syria commanded the commanders of his chariots, thirty-two of them, saying, 'Do not fight small or great, but only the king of Israel alone.'

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων τὸν Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπον φαίνεται βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ οὗτος καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν πολεμῆσαι καὶ ἀνέκραξεν Ιωσαφατ

And it came to pass, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat king of Judah, that they themselves said, 'This appears to be the king of Israel'; and they surrounded him to fight him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ οὗτος καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And it came to pass, when the commanders of the chariots saw that this was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from him.

καὶ ἐνέτεινεν εἷς τὸ τόξον εὐστόχως καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πνεύμονος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θώρακος καὶ εἶπεν τῷ ἡνιόχῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπίστρεψον τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ ἐξάγαγέ με ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου ὅτι τέτρωμαι

And a certain man drew the bow with good aim and struck the king of Israel between the lung and between the breastplate, and he said to his charioteer, 'Turn your hands and lead me out of the battle, for I am wounded.'

καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξ ἐναντίας Συρίας ἀπὸ πρωὶ ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἀπέχυννε τὸ αἷμα ἐκ τῆς πληγῆς εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ ἅρματος καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἑσπέρας καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο τὸ αἷμα τῆς τροπῆς ἕως τοῦ κόλπου τοῦ ἅρματος

And the battle turned in that day, and the king was standing upon his chariot opposite Syria from morning until evening, and the blood ran out from the wound into the hollow of the chariot, and he died at evening, and the blood of the wound flowed out into the hollow of the chariot.

καὶ ἔστη ὁ στρατοκῆρυξ δύνοντος τοῦ ἡλίου λέγων ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ πόλιν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν

And the herald of the army stood at the setting of the sun, saying, 'Let each go to his own city and to his own land.'

ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἔθαψαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ

for the king was dead. And they came to Samaria and buried the king in Samaria.

καὶ ἀπένιψαν τὸ ἅρμα ἐπὶ τὴν κρήνην Σαμαρείας καὶ ἐξέλειξαν αἱ ὕες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐλούσαντο ἐν τῷ αἵματι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν

And they washed the chariot at the fountain of Samaria, and the swine and the dogs licked up the blood, and the harlots bathed in the blood, according to the word of the LORD that he had spoken.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Αχααβ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ οἶκον ἐλεφάντινον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ

And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he made — behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Αχααβ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Οχοζιας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his place.

καὶ Ιωσαφατ υἱὸς Ασα ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ιουδα ἔτει τετάρτῳ τῷ Αχααβ βασιλέως Ισραηλ ἐβασίλευσεν

And Jehoshaphat son of Asa began to reign over Judah; in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel he began to reign.

Ιωσαφατ υἱὸς τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Αζουβα θυγάτηρ Σελεϊ

Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azuba daughter of Selei.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ Ασα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου

And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, to do what is right in the eyes of the LORD.

πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῆρεν ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζεν καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς

Only the high places he did not remove; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

καὶ εἰρήνευσεν Ιωσαφατ μετὰ βασιλέως Ισραηλ

And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ιωσαφατ καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ιουδα

And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his mighty deeds, all that he did — behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωσαφατ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη παρὰ τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωραμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Joram his son reigned in his place.

καὶ Οχοζιας υἱὸς Αχααβ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐν ἔτει ἑπτακαιδεκάτῳ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεῖ Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ισραηλ ἔτη δύο

And Ochozias son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
