1. There was peace between Israel and Syria for the next two years,
2. but in the third year King Jehoshaphat of Judah went to see King Ahab of Israel.
3. Ahab asked his officials, “Why is it that we have not done anything to get back Ramoth in Gilead from the king of Syria? It belongs to us!”
4. And Ahab asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to attack Ramoth?”“I am ready when you are,” Jehoshaphat answered, “and so are my soldiers and my cavalry.
5. But first let's consult the Lord.”
6. So Ahab called in the prophets, about 400 of them, and asked them, “Should I go and attack Ramoth, or not?”“Attack it,” they answered. “The Lord will give you victory.”
