Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.
2
And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.
3
For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.
4
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
5
So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.
6
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
