1 Kings 22:1-7

1. 1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

2. 2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

3. 3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?

4. 4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

5. 5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

6. 6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

7. 7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
