Jehoshaphat’s Alliance with Ahab
18 Now Jehoshaphat(A) had riches and honor in abundance,(B) and he made an alliance with Ahab through marriage.[a](C) 2 Then after some years, he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria. Ahab sacrificed many sheep and cattle for him and for the people who were with him. Then he persuaded him to march up to Ramoth-gilead, 3 for Israel’s King Ahab asked Judah’s King Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead?”
He replied to him, “I am as you are, my people as your people; we will be with you in the battle.”
