1 Kings 22:1-7 ▼

1 There was a lull of three years without war between Aram and Israel.

2 However, in the third year, King Jehoshaphat of Judah went to visit the king of Israel.

3 The king of Israel had said to his servants, “Don’t you know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we’re doing nothing to take it from the king of Aram? ”

4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight Ramoth-gilead? ” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”

5 But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “First, please ask what the LORD’s will is.”

6 So the king of Israel gathered the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go against Ramoth-gilead for war or should I refrain? ” They replied, “March up, and the Lord will hand it over to the king.”

7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of the LORD here anymore? Let’s ask him.”
