And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, 'Still — one man to seek Jehovah from him, and I — I have hated him, for he is not prophesying concerning me of good, but all his days of evil, he [is] Micaiah son of Imlah;' and Jehoshaphat saith, 'Let not the king say so.'

20 Loneake amy zao ty fañahy nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Izaho ty hanjizy aze. Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Akore?
And go out doth the spirit, and stand before Jehovah, and saith, I do entice him; and Jehovah saith unto him, With what?
21 Le hoe re, Hionjomb’eo iraho ho fañahin-dremborake am-palie’ o mpitoki’e iabio. Le hoe re: Toe ho sigihe’o vaho hañeneke; akia, ano.
and he saith, I go out, and have become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And He saith, Thou dost entice, and also, thou art able; go out and do so.

And, now, lo, Jehovah hath put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken concerning thee — evil.'

And the king of Aram hath commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he hath, saying, 'Ye do not fight with small or with great, except with the king of Israel by himself.'
31 Ie amy zao naho niisa’ o mpifehen-tsareteo t’Iehosafate le hoe iereo: Ingo i mpanjaka’ Israeley. Aa le nitoliha’ iareo hialy; fe nikoike t’Iehosafate le nañolotse aze t’Iehovà vaho niroroten’ Añahare iereo hisitake.
And it cometh to pass at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they have said, 'The king of Israel he is,' and they turn round against him to fight, and Jehoshaphat crieth out, and Jehovah hath helped him, and God enticeth them from him,
32 Aa ie nirendre’ o mpifehe sareteo t’ie tsy i mpanjaka’ Israeley le nivalike tsy nihoridaña’e.
yea, it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that it hath not been the king of Israel — they turn back from after him.

34 Niindra avao i hotakotakey amy andro zay; ie amy zao nahafijohañe an-tsarete ao niatreke o nte-Arameo i mpanjaka’ Israeley am-para’ te hariva; le nihomake te nitsofotse i àndroy.
And the battle increaseth on that day, and the king of Israel hath been stayed up in the chariot over-against Aram till the evening, and he dieth at the time of the going in of the sun.
