1 For three years there was no war between Aram and the Israelites.
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," Jehoshaphat 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."
