Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 22:29-40

The matter in contest between God's prophet and Ahab's prophets is here soon determined, and it is made to appear which was in the right. Here, I. The two kings march with their forces to Ramoth-Gilead, 1 Kgs. 22:29. That the king of Israel, who hated God's prophet, should so far disbelieve his admonition as to persist in his resolution, notwithstanding, is not strange; but that Jehoshaphat, that pious prince, who had desired to enquire by a prophet of the Lord, as disrelishing and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 22:32

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat ,.... In his royal robes: that they said, surely it is the king of Israel ; for they might not know the persons either of Ahab or him, but judged by his habit: and they turned aside to fight against him ; pressed upon him with all their force, either to take him or slay him: and Jehoshaphat cried out ; with a loud voice, either to the captains to let them know who he was, or to his men to come to his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 22:1-40

The Death of Ahab and the Defeat of Israel. This chapter is almost entirely occupied with an account of the death of Ahab, and of the circumstances which preceded and attended it. The earlier portion of the chapter, which contains the prophesyings of the false prophets and the vision of Micaiah, is only recorded because of its bearing on the death of the king, and the dispersion of his army. And the prominence accorded to Ahab's end only corresponds with the space assigned to his... read more

The Certainty of God's Threatenings. I. AHAB 'S ATTEMPT TO ELUDE THE DIVINE VENGEANCE . 1 . His apprehension of coming evil . If Micaiah's words were not the words of God, why should he take precautions? His heart gives the lie to his own unbelief; the words cling to him.

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 22:30-38

Lessons of the Battle. After disposing of Micaiah by sending him to prison with hard fare as the reward of his faithfulness, Ahab and Jehoshaphat gathered their forces and set out together to fight for the recovery of Ramoth-Gilead.

And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely [ אַךְ , not only (Bähr, Keil), but certainly ; cf. Genesis 44:28 ; 3:24 ; 2 Kings 24:3 ] it [Heb. he ] is the king of Israel . And they turned aside [Cf. 1 Kings 20:39 , same word. The Hebrew inserts עָלָיו .

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived [in what way we are not told. But Ahab would be known to some of them, 1 Kings 20:1-43 :81] that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 22:32

Surely it is the king of Israel - This was a natural supposition, as Jehoshaphat alone wore royal robes.And Jehoshaphat cried out - Jehoshaphat called to his men for help, using perhaps his own special battle-cry, which would be distinct from that of Ahab, and would probably be known to the Syrians. read more

They turned aside to fight against him They drew their forces from their several quarters toward him. And Jehoshaphat cried out By his danger God now let him know that he was displeased with him, for joining in... read more
