1 For three years there was peace between Israel and Aram.
2 During the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah went to visit Ahab king of Israel.
3 At that time Ahab asked his officers, “Do you remember that the king of Aram took Ramoth in Gilead from us? Why have we done nothing to get it back?”
4 So Ahab asked King Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth in Gilead?”“I will go with you,” Jehoshaphat answered. “My soldiers are yours, and my horses are yours.”
5 Jehoshaphat also said to Ahab, “But first we should ask if this is the Lord’s will.”
6 Ahab called about four hundred prophets together and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth in Gilead or not?”They answered, “Go, because the Lord will hand them over to you.”
