Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:10

HENRY_FULL · 2 Chronicles 25:10
hr.18" The story of this chapter we had just as it is here related in the story of the reign of Ahab king of Israel, 1 Kings xxii. There it looks more creditable to Ahab than any thing else recorded of him that he was in league with so good a man as Jehoshaphat; here it is a great blemish in the reign of Jehoshaphat that he thus connected himself with so bad a man as Ahab. Here is, I. The alliance he contracted himself with Ahab, ver. 1 . II. His consent to join with him in his expedition for the recovery of Ramoth-Gilead out of the hands of the Syrians, ver. 2, 3 . III. Their consulting with the prophets, false and true, before they went, ver. 4-27 . IV. The success of their expedition. Jehoshaphat hardly escaped ( ver. 28-32 ) and Ahab received his death's wound, ver. 33, 34 .
