22:1-3
This is one of my favourite passages in Kings. There are three main characters in it: Ahab, Jehishaphat, and the coolest prophet in the Bible, Micaiah. There was peace between Aram and Israel, but Ahab wanted to get some of the land back. T\he current tensions in the Middle East are nothing new.
22:4,5
Ahab seeks Judah’s help in this enterprise. Ahab was a thoroughly bad king, both morally bad, and weak as well. Jehoshaphat was a generally good king, but far from perfect. \he readily agrees to help Ahab, but tells him to seek the counsel of the Lord first.
