1 Re 22:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 22:2

And it came to pass in the third year
Of the peace, before it was expired:

that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel;
to Ahab, from Jerusalem to Samaria, reckoned thirty two miles ^F13; either to make peace with him, and put an end to the wars which subsisted between Israel and Judah since the division of the kingdom, ( 1 Kings 22:44 ) or to contract an affinity with him, by marrying his son to a daughter of Ahab, ( 2 Kings 8:18 2 Kings 8:26 ) or rather after peace was made, and that strengthened by the marriage; and so he went merely to pay a visit, as he judged he might then with great safety; and he and all his retinue were entertained by Ahab in a very sumptuous and liberal manner, ( 2 Chronicles 18:1 2 Chronicles 18:2 ) .

1 Re 22:2 In-Context

1 Passarono tre anni senza guerra tra la Siria e Israele.

2 Ma il terzo anno Giosafat, re di Giuda, scese a trovare il re d’Israele.

3 Or il re d’Israele avea detto ai suoi servi: "Non sapete voi che Ramoth di Galaad è nostra, e noi ce ne stiam lì tranquilli senza levarla di mano al re di Siria?"

4 E disse a Giosafat: "Vuoi venire con me alla guerra contro Ramoth di Galaad?" Giosafat rispose al re d’Israele: "Fa’ conto di me come di te stesso, della mia gente come della tua, de’ miei cavalli come dei tuoi".

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