MRK 4 : 1-20

2TAW 17

1.   Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel. 2.   And he placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken. 3.   Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals, 4.   but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel. 5.   Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance. 6.   And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah. 7.   Also in the third year of his reign he sent his leaders, Ben–Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah. 8.   And with them he sent Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah––the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. 9.   So they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the LORD with them; they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people. 10.   And the fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat. 11.   Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver as tribute; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats. 12.   So Jehoshaphat became increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah. 13.   He had much property in the cities of Judah; and the men of war, mighty men of valor, were in Jerusalem. 14.   These are their numbers, according to their fathers’ houses. Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor; 15.   and next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand; 16.   and next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor. 17.   Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand men armed with bow and shield; 18.   and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand prepared for war. 19.   These served the king, besides those the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

2TAW 18

1.   Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and by marriage he allied himself with Ahab. 2.   After some years he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria; and Ahab killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people who were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead. 3.   So Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?" And he answered him, "I am as you are , and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war." 4.   And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire for the word of the LORD today." 5.   Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for God will deliver it into the king’s hand." 6.   But Jehoshaphat said, " Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of Him?" 7.   So 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 never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla." And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say such things!" 8.   Then the king of Israel called one of his officers and said, "Bring Micaiah the son of Imla quickly!" 9.   The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, clothed in their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 10.   Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, "Thus says the LORD: ‘With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’" 11.   And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the king’s hand." 12.   Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Therefore please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement." 13.   And Micaiah said, " As the LORD lives, whatever my God says, that I will speak." 14.   Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" And he said, "Go and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand!" 15.   So the king said to him, "How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?" 16.   Then he said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’" 17.   And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?" 18.   Then Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right hand and His left. 19.   "And the LORD said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. 20.   "Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ The LORD said to him, ‘In what way?’ 21.   "So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the LORD said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’ 22.   "Therefore look! The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has declared disaster against you." 23.   Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the spirit from the LORD go from me to speak to you?" 24.   And Micaiah said, "Indeed you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide!" 25.   Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son; 26.   "and say, ‘Thus says the king: "Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace."’" 27.   Then Micaiah said, "If you ever return in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Take heed, all you people!" 28.   So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 29.   And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle. 30.   Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots who were with him, saying, "Fight with no one small or great, but only with the king of Israel." 31.   So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they surrounded him to attack; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him, and God diverted them from him. 32.   For so it was, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. 33.   Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded." 34.   The battle increased that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Syrians until evening; and about the time of sunset he died.

MRK 4 1-20

1.   And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. 2.   Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching: 3.   "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4.   "And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. 5.   "Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. 6.   "But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. 7.   "And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. 8.   "But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred." 9.   And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" 10.   But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable. 11.   And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12.   "so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’" 13.   And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14.   "The sower sows the word. 15.   "And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16.   "These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17.   "and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. 18.   "Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19.   "and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20.   "But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it , and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
