"And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And it came to pass in the third year,.... Of the peace, before it was expired: that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel; to
Ahab, from Jerusalem to Samaria, reckoned thirty two miles (m); either to make peace with him, and put an end to the wars which subsisted between Israel and Judah since the division of the kingdom, Kg1 22:44 or to contract an affinity with him, by marrying his son to a daughter of Ahab, Kg2 8:18 or rather after peace was made, and that strengthened by the marriage; and so he went merely to pay a visit, as he judged he might then with great safety; and he and all his retinue were entertained by Ahab in a very sumptuous and liberal manner, Ch2 18:1 . (m) Bunting's Travels, &c. p. 178. near 40, Rainold. Praelect. 31. col. 266.
