Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance,.... Still more and more, see 2 Chronicles 17:5, and which moved Ahab to desire friendship and affinity with him, to which Jehoshaphat agreed:
and joined affinity with Ahab; king of Israel, married his son Joram to Athaliah, a daughter of Ahab by Jezebel of Zidon; which marriage proved of bad consequence to Jehoshaphat and his family.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The present chapter runs parallel with Kings, which it closely follows, only adding a few touches.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVIII
Jehoshaphat joins affinity with Ahab, king of Israel, 1, 2;
who invites him to assist him in the war against the Syrians,
to which Jehoshaphat agrees, 3.
They consult the prophets concerning the success of the war;
and all, except Micaiah, promise Ahab victory, 4-17.
Micaiah relates his vision concerning the lying spirit in the
mouth of Ahab's prophets, 18-22.
Zedekiah, a false prophet, opposes Micaiah; and Micaiah is put
in prison, 23-27.
Both the kings go against the Syrians; the confederate armies
are defeated, and the king of Israel slain, 28-31.
