1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehosh´aphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gil´e-ad is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 And he said unto Jehosh´aphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ra´moth–gil´e-ad? And Jehosh´aphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
5 And Jehosh´aphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord today.
