1 KINGS—NOTE ON 1 Kings 22:49 Jehoshaphat was not willing. The current peace between Israel and Judah (v. 1 Kings 22:44) is not strong. Whereas Solomon took Sidonians on board his ships (1 Kings 9:27), Jehoshaphat refuses even to have Israelites sail with his men. According to 2 Chronicles 20:35, at first Jehoshaphat was willing to cooperate with Ahaziah. But after Eliezer prophesied against Jehoshaphat’s alliance with Ahaziah, Jehoshaphat changed his mind.
