Just then, ¹  while she was still speaking to the king, Nathan the prophet arrived.

While ¹  you are still there speaking to the king, I will arrive ²  and verify your report.” ³ 

Then ¹  all the nations of the earth will recognize that the Lord is the only genuine God. ² 

He said to them, “Go away for three days, then return to me.” So the people went away.

But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord still here, that we may ask him?”

As he was still speaking, Jonathan ¹  son of Abiathar the priest arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in, for ²  an important man like you must be bringing good news.” ³

¹  When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard the news, he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon and had been living ever since. ² 

She gave the king 120 talents ¹  of gold, a very large quantity of spices, and precious gems. The quantity of spices the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon has never been matched. ²

He followed in his father Asa’s footsteps and was careful to do what the Lord approved. ¹  (22:44) ²  However, the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.

The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man through whom we can seek the Lord’s will. ¹  But I despise ²  him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. ³  Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say such things.”
