Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 22:1-28

THE DEATH OF AHABCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 22:2. Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel—This visit is accounted for in Chronicles (chap. 1 Kings 18:1): Jehoshaphat came to Israel for the marriage of his son Jehoram to Ahab’s daughter, Athaliah (see 2 Kings 8:18). Ahab entertained with sumptuous hospitality Jehoshaphat and his immense retinue, composed largely of military officers; and then seized the occasion for forming an alliance with the king of Judah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 22:1-53

Chapter 22So they went for three years without war between Syria and Israel. And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat who was the king of the southern tribes Judah, he came up to visit Ahab. And the king of Israel [that would be Ahab] said to his servants, Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria? So he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle at Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king, I am as you are, my... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 22:1-53

1 Kings 22:2 . Jehoshaphat had married his son Jehoram to Athaliah, daughter of Jezebel; probably from the idea that the connection would prevent internal war for the future: oh fatal mistake! 1 Kings 22:7 .

The Biblical Illustrator - 1 Kings 22:2-50

1 Kings 22:2-50Jehoshaphat the King of Judah.Character of JehoshaphatIn Ahab we have an instance of a wicked man partially reclaimed, frequently arrested, but yet finally hardened in his iniquity. In Jehoshaphat, again, we have a still more affecting example. We see how a man, upright before God, and sincere in serving Him, may be betrayed into weak compliances; and how dangerous and melancholy the consequences of these compliances may be. The general uprightness of Jehoshaphat, his sincerity... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 22:18

1Ki 22:18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? Ver. 18. Did I not tell thee? &c. ] Hereby he would persuade Jehoshaphat - and perhaps did so persuade him - that Micaiah spake all out of ill-will, which never speaks well, and therefore was not much to be regarded. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Kings 22:18

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?Evil — Nay, but what evil was it, to tell him, what would be the event, if he proceeded in his expedition, while it was in his own power, whether he would proceed, or no? The greatest kindness we can do to one that is walking in a dangerous way, is to tell him of his danger. read more
