2. In the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3. Now the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we are still doing nothing to take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"
4. And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
5. Moreover, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the Lord."
6. Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king."
7. But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the Lord here that we may inquire of him?"
