Subject: Why did Jehoshaphat join Ahab? |
Bible Note: Hi Nolan Keck, I suspect that he joined him in a feeling of brotherhood; but more than likely he was being used of the Lord. Right away he witnessed of the need of knowing the will of the Lord. 1Kings 22:5, "Moreover, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the (Lord)." Parenthesis mine for comparison. Also, 1King 22:16,"Then the king said to him, "How many times must I adjure you to speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the (Lord)?" I see the passage as one we can liken to the New Testament's admonition to test the spirits. It also points out our need of the Shepherd and the Master, 1Kings 22:17. |
