1 Kings 22:2
Ver. 2. 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, 1Ki 22:44 or to contract an affinity with him, by marrying his son to a daughter of Ahab, 2Ki 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, 2Ch 18:1.
