Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. From the time that Benhadad made a covenant with Ahab; not three full years, but part of them: it was threatened by Elijah from the Lord, that Ahab's life should go for Benhadad's, because he had let him, go, 1 Kings 22:42, but because of his humiliation, as is thought by Ben Gersom and others, it was respited for those three years; and now an opportunity and occasion would be given for the fulfilment of what was threatened.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Three years - These must be counted from the close of the second campaign of Ben-hadad 1 Kings 20:34. They were not full years, as is evident from the next verse. Probably the first year is that of Ben-hadad’s dismissal after his defeat; the second is a year of actual peace; while the third is that in which Jehoshaphat paid his visit, and the Ramoth-Gilead expedition took place. The pause, here noticed, in the war between Israel and Syria was perhaps the result of a common danger. It was probably in the year following Ben-hadad’s dismissal by Ahab, that the first great Assyrian expedition took place into these parts. Shalmaneser II relates that on his first invasion of southern Syria, he was met by the combined forces of Ben-hadad, Ahab, the king of Hamath, the kings of the Hittites, and others, who gave him battle, but suffered a defeat.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXII

Jehoshaphat King of Judah, and Ahab King of Israel, unite

against the Syrians, in order to recover Ramoth-gilead, 1-4.

They inquire of false prophets, who promise them success.

Micaiah, a true prophet, foretells the disasters of the war,

5-17.

A lying spirit in the mouths of Ahab's prophets persuades Ahab

to go up against Ramoth, 18-29.

The confederate armies are routed, and the king of Israel

slain, 30-36.

Death and burial of Ahab, 37-40.

Character of Jehoshaphat, 41-47.

He makes a fleet in order to go to Ophir for gold, which is

wrecked at Ezion-geber, 48.

His death, 49.

He is succeeded by his son Jehoram, 50.

Ahaziah succeeds his father Ahab, and reigns wickedly, 51, 52.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXII

Verse 1 Kings 22:1. Three years without war — That is, from the time that Ahab made the covenant with Ben-hadad, mentioned 1 Kings 20:34. And probably in that treaty it was stipulated that Ramoth-gilead should be restored to Israel; which not being done, Ahab formed a confederacy with Judah, and determined to take it by force.
