22:29-40
Ahab fears that there might be something in Micaiah’s words, so tries to avoid the word of God, he gets Jehoshaphat to disguise himself as king, and he, himself, as not king. However, it is futile to try and outdo the word of God, and so it proves. The enemy soldiers recognise that Jehoshophat is not Ahab, and a “random” arrow gets Ahab and he died. Ahab was buried in Samaria, and, true to the earlier prophecy, dogs licked up his blood. Ahab was succeeded by his son, Ahaziah.
22:41-50
Meanwhile Jhoshophat became king of Judah and reigned for twenty five years. Jehoshophat followed the ways of his father, Asa, ridding the land of the male shrine prostitutes. He was succeeded by Jehoram.
