Melachim Alef 22:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:1

And they continued three years without war between Syria
and Israel.
] From the time that Benhadad made a covenant with Ahab; not three full years, but part of them: it was threatened by Elijah from the Lord, that Ahab's life should go for Benhadad's, because he had let him, go, ( 1 Kings 22:42 ) , but because of his humiliation, as is thought by Ben Gersom and others, it was respited for those three years; and now an opportunity and occasion would be given for the fulfilment of what was threatened.

2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Yehoshaphat Melech Yehudah came down to Melech Yisroel.

3 And Melech Yisroel said unto his avadim, Know ye that Ramot-Gil‘ad is ours, and we hesitate, and take it not out of the hand of HaMelech Aram?

4 And he said unto Yehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramot-Gil`ad? And Yehoshaphat said to the Melech Yisroel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my susim as thy susim.

5 And Yehoshaphat said unto the Melech Yisroel, Inquire for the Devar Hashem today.
