Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is persuaded to go against Ramoth Gilead4. Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the word of Micaiah, is slain there The battle raged throughout that day This phrase sets the scene of intense conflict, highlighting the relentless nature of warfare in ancient times. The Hebrew root for "raged" (שָׁאַף, sha'aph) conveys a sense of fierce, ongoing struggle. Historically, battles during this period were brutal and could last from dawn until dusk, reflecting the determination and endurance of the combatants. This relentless battle serves as a metaphor for the spiritual battles Christians face, reminding believers to remain steadfast in faith. the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Arameans until evening Then at sunset he died Howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot.--Literally, and the king of Israel was (or, continued) holding himself up in the chariot, facing Aram, until the evening. 1Kings 22:35 reads: was held up in the chariot, &c, and he died in the evening. The reading of Chronicles is preferable, the sense being that Ahab bravely bore up against the pain of his wound, in order not to discourage his own side by retiring from the field. The rest of the narrative which tells of the return of the army and the washing of Ahab's chariot at the pool of Samaria (1Kings 22:36-38) is omitted here, because Jehoshaphat was not concerned in it, and perhaps because the chronicler had a true perception of the real climax of this vivid story of the olden time.
