Then the prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him,“ Go, show yourself courageous and be aware and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will march against you.”

那先知来见以色列王，对他说：“你当自强，留心怎样防备；因为到明年这时候，亚兰王必上来攻击你。”

那先知靠近以色列王，对他说：“去吧，你当自强，看清楚，也要知道你所要做的事，因为再过一年，亚兰王会上来攻击你。”

那先知靠近以色列王，对他说：“去吧，你当自强，看清楚，也要知道你所要做的事，因为再过一年，亚兰王会上来攻击你。”

先知又来见以色列王，说：“你要加强防卫，做好准备，因为明年春天亚兰王必卷土重来。”

那先知前来见以色列王，对他说：“你要自强，留意看看你所要预备的，因为明年春天亚兰王必再上来攻击你。”

那先知來見以色列王，對他說：「你當自強，留心怎樣防備；因為到明年這時候，亞蘭王必上來攻擊你。」

先知又來見以色列王，說：「你要加強防衛，做好準備，因為明年春天亞蘭王必捲土重來。」

那先知前來見以色列王，對他說：“你要自強，留意看看你所要預備的，因為明年春天亞蘭王必再上來攻擊你。”

那神言人走近前來見以色列王，對他說：『來！你奮勇自強吧；你要明白、要看清楚你所要作的；因為到了年頭、亞蘭王必上來攻擊你。』

先知進見以色列王曰、往哉、自強、慎爾所為、歲月既周、亞蘭王必來攻爾、

先知覲以色列王曰、當益爾軍旅、謹爾作為、明年亞蘭王必復至、以攻擊爾。

先知至以色列王前、謂之曰、當勉力自強、籌晝如何備禦、明年斯時、亞蘭王必復至攻擊爾、

Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said,“ Strengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.”

After that, the prophet came to the king of Israel again. The prophet said,“ Make your position stronger. Do what needs to be done. Next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.”

Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him,“ Come, strengthen yourself, and consider well what you have to do, for in the spring the king of Syria will come up against you.”

Afterward the prophet said to King Ahab,“ Get ready for another attack. Begin making plans now, for the king of Aram will come back next spring.”

The prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him,“ Go and strengthen yourself, then consider carefully what you should do, for in the spring the king of Aram will attack you.”

And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him,“ Go, strengthen yourself; take note, and see what you should do, for in the spring of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.”

And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.

The prophet approached the king of Israel and said to him,“ Go and strengthen yourself, then consider what you should do, for in the spring the king of Aram will march against you.”

And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.

The prophet visited the king of Israel and instructed him,“ Go, fortify your defenses. Determine what you must do, for in the spring the king of Syria will attack you.”

The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him,“ Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.”

Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they brought destruction on the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem.

Now behold, a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, and said,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am going to hand them over to you today, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”

So at the turn of the year Ben hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

“ Be broken, you peoples, and be shattered; And listen, all remote places of the earth. Get ready, yet be shattered; Get ready, yet be shattered.

I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to idols.

So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.

And he said,“ I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of armies; for the sons of Israel have abandoned Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they have sought to take my life.”

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.

But if you do go, do it, be strong for the battle; yet God will bring you down before the enemy, for God has the power to help and to bring down.”

Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

One of his servants said,“ No, my lord, the king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

Lord, Your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see it. They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame; Indeed, fire will devour Your enemies.

Why should the nations say,“ Where, then, is their God?”But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.

Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.

Prepare plans by consultation, And make war by wise guidance.

Now Amaziah gathered his courage and led his people out, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck and killed ten thousand of the sons of Seir.

Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; stir up the warriors! Have all the soldiers come forward, have them come up!Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak man say,“ I am a warrior.”

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,“ There is still one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy anything good regarding me, but only bad. He is Micaiah the son of Imlah.” But Jehoshaphat said,“ May the king not say so.”
