2 Cronache 18:2 In-Context

1 Giosafat ebbe ricchezze e gloria in abbondanza, e contrasse parentela con Achab.

2 In capo a qualche anno, scese a Samaria da Achab; e Achab fece uccidere per lui e per la gente ch’era con lui un gran numero di pecore e di buoi, e lo indusse a salir seco contro Ramoth di Galaad.

3 Achab, re d’Israele, disse a Giosafat, re di Giuda: "Vuoi venire con me a Ramoth di Galaad?" Giosafat gli rispose: "Fa’ conto di me come di te stesso, della mia gente come della tua, e verremo con te alla guerra".

4 E Giosafat disse al re d’Israele: "Ti prego, consulta oggi la parola dell’Eterno".

5 Allora il re d’Israele radunò i profeti, in numero di quattrocento, e disse loro: "Dobbiam noi andare a far guerra a Ramoth di Galaad, o no?" Quelli risposero: "Va’, e Dio la darà nelle mani del re".
