2 Chronicles 18:1-6 ▼

1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he made an alliance with Ahab through marriage.

2 Then after some years, he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria. Ahab slaughtered many sheep, goats, and cattle for him and for the people who were with him, and he persuaded him to attack Ramoth-gilead,

3 for Israel’s King Ahab asked Judah’s King Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? ” He replied to him, “I am as you are, my people as your people; we will be with you in the battle.”

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

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

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