2 Chronicles 18:9-11, 34

2 Chronicles 18:9-11 MSG

Meanwhile, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat were seated on their thrones, dressed in their royal robes, resplendent in front of the Samaria city gates. All the prophets were staging a prophecy-performance for their benefit. Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had even made a set of iron horns, and brandishing them, called out, “GOD’s word! With these horns you’ll gore Aram until there’s nothing left of them!” All the prophets chimed in, “Yes! Go for Ramoth Gilead! An easy victory! GOD’s gift to the king!”

2 Chronicles 18:34 MSG

All day the fighting continued, hot and heavy. Propped up in his chariot, the king watched from the sidelines. He died that evening.
