1 Kings 22:1 In-Context

1 Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2 In the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 Now the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we are still doing nothing to take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"
4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
5 Moreover, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD ."
