1Now for three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
2And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.
3And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.
4And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
5Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
6So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
7But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
