Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is persuaded to go against Ramoth Gilead4. Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the word of Micaiah, is slain there (30) That were with him.--Kings adds, "thirty and two," referring to what is related in 1Kings 20:16; 1Kings 20:24, a matter which the chronicler has not noticed. The Syriac and Arabic supply the number here. With small or great.--So Kings. Our text is literally, with the small or the great. They compassed about him.--Or, came round against him. Kings, wrongly, "turned aside against him." In Hebrew the difference turns on half a letter. But Jehoshaphat cried out.--Probably to bring his followers to the rescue. (1Kings 22:32 ends with these words.) And the Lord helped him; and God moved (literally, incited, "persuaded," 2Chronicles 18:1) them . . . from him.--Drove them away from him. This addition is evidently from the pen of the chronicler himself. It appears that he understood the verb "cried out" in the sense of a cry to God for help, a sense which it often bears, e.g., Psalm 22:6. . . . Verse 30. - Our had commanded stands rendered in the parallel not so explicitly "commanded," but in both cases the Hebrew text is the same (צִוָּה). Therefore, if the place of vers. 29, 30 were inverted, what reads like the cool suggestion of Ahab in ver. 29 would seem more tolerable. Mean. time, Benhadad's command argues the intensity of his resentment towards Ahab, and not less ungrateful forgetfulness for the ultimate consideration that Ahab had allowed to him (1 Kings 20:31-34).Parallel Commentaries ...
