1 Kings 22:12 -

And all the prophets prophesied [Heb. were prophesying ] so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper [a Hebraism for "thou wilt prosper." Gesenius, Gram. § 127. 2, cites parallels in Genesis 42:18 ; Proverbs 20:13 ; Psalms 37:27 ; Job 22:21 ; Isaiah 8:9 ; Isaiah 29:9 , and reminds us that in the Latin divide et impera we have the same idiom]: for the Lord tall speak in His name now, hoping thus to satisfy the king of Judah] shall deliver it into the king's hand.
