REIGNS OF JEHOSHAPHAT OF JUDAH AND AHAZIAH OF ISRAEL, These reigns are related in the usual annalistic style. 1 Kings 22:47, which says there was no king in Edom, is very obscure. It seems to imply that Jehoshaphat owned Edom, and ruled by his own nominee, but in 2 Kings 3 we read of a king of Edom. 1 Kings 22:48. On Ophir and Ezion-geber, see 1 Kings 9:26; 1 Kings 9:28. The Chronicler (2 Chronicles 20:37) says that the ships were wrecked as a punishment for Jehoshaphat's alliance with the king of Israel. The book

II. SUMMARY OF THE REIGN OF JEHOSHAPHAT 22:41-50 TRANSLATION (41) Now Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to rule over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. (42) Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and twenty-five years he ruled in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. (43) And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father not deviating from it, to do that which was right in the eyes of the LORD. But the high places he did not remove; the people were yet sacrificing and offering incense in the high places. (44) And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. (45) Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he demonstrated, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. (46) And the rest of the male prostitutes which remained from the days of Asa his fathe...

GOD’S LESSONS FROM HISTORY 1 KINGS _PHILIP SMITH_ CHAPTER 22 THE *PROPHET MICAIAH V1 There was peace between Syria and *Israel for almost three years. V2 In the third year Jehoshaphat, king of *Judah went down to see the king of *Israel. V3 The king of *Israel said to his officials, ‘I do not know why we have not done anything to get back Ramoth-Gilead from the king of Syria. It belongs to us!’ V4 So he asked Jehoshaphat if he would go to attack Ramoth-Gilead with him. Jehoshaphat said that he, his army and his horses were ready and willing to join in. V5 But he also said to the king of *Israel, ‘Let us first ask the *Lord for advice.’...
