But there came a man of Elohim to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for Yahweh is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy elohim, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
And, behold, Elohim himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Yahweh Elohim of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the lawless one, and love them that hate Yahweh? therefore is wrath upon thee from before Yahweh.
