Context
Ahab Dies in Battle
22:1 There was no war between Syria and Israel for three years .
22:2 In the third year King Jehoshaphat of Judah came down to visit the king of Israel .
22:3 The king of Israel said to his servants , “Surely you recognize that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us, though we are hesitant to reclaim it from the king of Syria .”
22:4 Then he said to Jehoshaphat , “Will you go with me to attack Ramoth Gilead ?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel , “I will support you; my army and horses are at your disposal.”
22:5 Then Jehoshaphat added , “First seek an oracle from the Lord .”
22:6 So the king of Israel assembled about four hundred prophets and asked them, “Should I attack Ramoth Gilead or not ?” They said , “Attack ! The sovereign one will hand it over to the king .”
22:7 But Jehoshaphat asked , “Is there not a prophet of the Lord still here , that we may ask him?”
