View In My Bible
1
For three years there was no war between Aram and Isra'el.
2
Then, in the third year, Y'hoshafat the king of Y'hudah came down to the king of Isra'el.
3
The king of Isra'el said to his servants, "Are you aware that Ramot-Gil'ad belongs to us; yet, we're doing nothing to recover it from the king of Aram?"
4
He said to Y'hoshafat, "Will you go with me to attack Ramot-Gil'ad?" Y'hoshafat answered the king of Isra'el, "I'm with you all the way; think of my troops and horses as yours."
5
But Y'hoshafat said to the king of Isra'el, "First, we should seek the word of ADONAI."
6
So the king of Isra'el assembled the prophets, about 400 men. "Should I attack Ramot-Gil'ad?" he asked them, "Or should I hold off?" They said, "Attack! Adonai will hand it over to the king."
