  1  Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is persuaded to
    go with him against Ramoth-gilead.
 4  Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the word of
    Micaiah, is slain there.


VERSE 1
- A.M. 3107.  B.C. 897.  riches.
   * 2Ch 1:11-15; 17:5,12 Mt 6:33
- joined affinity.
  He took Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab, to be wife to his son
  Joram, (2 Ki 18 8:18;) which fatal connection was highly
  displeasing to God, and Jehoshaphat was severely reproved for
  it by Jehu the seer, 2 Ch 1 19:1-3.

   * :29 Mt 6:29; 11:8
- void place.  or, floor.
  Threshing-floors, among the ancient Jews, as we have before
  remarked, were only, as they are to this day in the East,
  round level plats of ground in the open air.  Hence a floor
  might well be near the gate of Samaria, which was built on a
  hill, and afford no improper place for the kings of Judah and
  Israel to give audience to the prophets.

- all the prophets.
   * Jer 27:14-16


VERSE 10 
 - horns of iron.
  Mr. Bruce, in describing the head-dress of the governors of
  Abyssinia, says, "A large broad fillet was bound upon their
  forehead, and tied behind their head:  in the middle of this
  was a horn, or conical piece of silver, gilt, about four
  inches long, much in the shape of our common candle
  extinguishers.  This is called {kirn,} {[keren,]} and is only
  worn in reviews, or parades after victory."  Such, it may be
  supposed, were the horns of iron which Zedekiah (who appears
  to have acted the hero returning from a military triumph) made
  for himself, when he presumed, in the name of Jehovah, to
  flatter his prince with the promise of victory:  "Thus saith
  the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria, until they be
  consumed."

   * Jer 27:2; 28:10-14 Zec 1:18-21 2Ti 3:8
- Thus.
   * Jer 23:17,21,25,31; 28:2,3; 29:21 Eze 13:7; 22:28

- into an inner chamber.  or, from chamber to chamber.  Heb.
  into a chamber in a chamber.
  "In one of the halls of the {seraglio} at Constantinople,"
  says De La Motraye, "the eunuch made us pass by several little
  chambers, with doors shut, like the cells of monks or nuns, as
  far as I could judge by one that another eunuch opened."  This
  exactly corresponds with the idea of a "chamber within a
  chamber;" and it would appear that Micaiah predicted that
  Zedekiah should fly for shelter to a Harem, which we have seen
  was deemed inviolate.  (See on 1 Sa 16 19:16.)

   * 1Ki 20:30 Isa 26:20

VERSE 33 
 - a certain man.  See on
   * 1Ki 22:34
- at a venture.  Heb. in his simplicity.
   * 2Sa 15:11
- between the, etc.  Heb. between the joints and between the
  breast plate.
  The {shiryon,} in Syriac, {sheryono,} seems to have covered
  both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently
  not properly a breast-plate, but a coat of mail or corslet.
  The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick, of
  ox-hide, of brass, or of iron.  The metallic corslet consisted
  not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected
  like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with
  greater ease.  It was between the joints of this harness that
  Ahab received his mortal wound.

   * 1Ki 22:34,35
- wounded.  Heb. made sick.
   * 2Ch 35:23


VERSE 34 
 - he died.  See on ver.
