1 For the next three years there was peace between Israel and Syria.
2 During the third year King Jehoshaphat of Judah went to visit King Ahab of Israel.
3 Ahab asked his officials, “Why haven't we tried to get Ramoth in Gilead back from the Syrians? It belongs to us.”
4 Then he asked Jehoshaphat, “Would you go to Ramoth with me and attack the Syrians?”“Just tell me what to do,” Jehoshaphat answered. “My army and horses are at your command.
5 But first, let's ask the Lord.”
6 Ahab sent for about four hundred prophets and asked, “Should I attack the Syrians at Ramoth?”“Yes!” the prophets answered. “The Lord will help you defeat them.”
