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.”
