Listen to 1 Kings 22:4

1 Kings 22:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, wilt thou go with me to battle
to Ramothgilead?
&c.] This affair being lately canvassed at the council board, and very much on Ahab's mind, he puts this question to Jehoshaphat, his visitor, relation, and ally; wisely considering that his own forces were small, and that to have such an auxiliary might be of great advantage to him:

and Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people
as thy people, my horses as thy horses;
meaning, that he and his soldiers, foot and horse, were at his service.

1 Kings 22:4 In-Context

2 In the third year, Judah's King Jehoshaphat visited Israel's king.
3 Israel's king said to his servants, "You know, don't you, that Ramoth-gilead is ours? But we aren't doing anything to take it back from the king of Aram."
4 He said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me into battle at Ramoth-gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to Israel's king, "I am with you, and my troops and my horses are united with yours.
5 But," Jehoshapat said to Israel's king, "first let's see what the LORD has to say."
6 So Israel's king gathered about four hundred prophets, and he asked them, "Should I go to war with Ramoth-gilead or not?" "Attack!" the prophets answered. "The LORD will hand it over to the king."
