1 KINGS CHAPTER 22



Ahab, intending war against the Syrians, is advised by Jehoshaphat first to ask counsel of God: Ahab’s prophets advise him to it, especially Zedekiah, 1Ki_22:1-12, Micaiah, a prophet of the Lord, dissuadeth him from it; and is put in prison by Ahab, 1Ki_22:13-28. Ahab goeth to the battle; is slain; the dogs lick his blood; and Ahaziah succeedeth him, 1Ki_22:29-40. Jehoshaphat’s good reign over Judah: his acts and death: Jehoram succeedeth him, 1Ki_22:41-50. Ahaziah’ s evil reign, 1Ki_22:51-53.



They continued; the Syrians and Israelites, designed in the following words. Three years; computed from the last war and league wherewith it was concluded; because both Ahab and Benhadad were so weakened and broken by the late wars, that they needed and desired peace to recruit themselves, and repair their former losses.
