2 Crônicas 18:2 In-Context

1 Josafá tinha grande riqueza e honra e aliou-se a Acabe por laços de casamento.

2 Alguns anos depois, ele foi visitar Acabe em Samaria. Acabe abateu muitas ovelhas e bois, para receber Josafá e sua comitiva, e insistiu que atacasse Ramote-Gileade.

3 Acabe, rei de Israel, perguntou a Josafá, rei de Judá: “Irás comigo lutar contra Ramote-Gileade?”Josafá respondeu: “Sou como tu, e meu povo é como o teu povo; estaremos contigo na guerra”.

4 Mas acrescentou: “Peço-te que busques primeiro o conselho do SENHOR”.

5 Então o rei de Israel reuniu quatrocentos profetas e lhes perguntou: “Devemos ir à guerra contra Ramote-Gileade, ou não?”Eles responderam: “Sim, pois Deus a entregará nas mãos do rei”.
