Contextual Overview
1 For three years there was no war between Aram and Isra'el. 2 Then, in the third year, Y'hoshafat the king of Y'hudah came down to the king of Isra'el. 3 The king of Isra'el said to his servants, "Are you aware that Ramot-Gil‘ad belongs to us; yet, we're doing nothing to recover it from the king of Aram?" 4 He said to Y'hoshafat, "Will you go with me to attack Ramot-Gil‘ad?" Y'hoshafat answered the king of Isra'el, "I'm with you all the way; think of my troops and horses as yours." 5 But Y'hoshafat said to the king of Isra'el, "First, we should seek the word of Adonai ." 6 So the king of Isra'el assembled the prophets, about 400 men. "Should I attack Ramot-Gil‘ad?" he asked them, "Or should I hold off?" They said, "Attack! Adonai will hand it over to the king." 7 But Y'hoshafat said, "Besides these, isn't there a prophet of Adonai here that we can consult?" 8 The king of Isra'el said to Y'hoshafat, "Yes, there is still one man through whom we can consult Adonai , Mikhay'hu the son of Yimlah; but I hate him, because he doesn't prophesy good things for me, but bad!" Y'hoshafat replied, "The king shouldn't say such a thing." 9 Then the king of Isra'el called an officer and said, "Quickly! Bring Mikhay'hu the son of Yimlah." 10 Now the king of Isra'el and Y'hoshafat the king of Y'hudah were each sitting on his throne, dressed in their royal robes, on a threshing-floor at the entrance to the gate of Shomron; and all the prophets were there, prophesying in their presence.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead?.... This affair being lately canvassed at the council board, and very much on Ahab's mind, he puts this question to Jehoshaphat, his visitor, relation, and ally; wisely considering that his own forces were small, and that to have such an auxiliary might be of great advantage to him:
and Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses; meaning, that he and his soldiers, foot and horse, were at his service.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ahab, well aware of the military strength of Syria, and feeling that he cannot now expect divine aid 1 Kings 20:42; 1 Kings 21:21, asks the aid of Jehoshaphat, whose military resources were very great 2 Chronicles 17:12-19. Jehoshaphatâs answer is one of complete acquiescence, without reserve of any kind (compare 2 Chronicles 18:3). Jehoshaphat was afterward rebuked for thus consenting to âhelp the ungodlyâ 2 Chronicles 19:2. He probably acted not merely from complaisance, but from a belief that the interests of his own kingdom would be advanced by the step which he agreed to take. The power of Syria was at this time very menacing.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 22:4. Wilt thou go with me — We find that there was a good understanding between Jehoshaphat and Ahab, which no doubt was the consequence of a matrimonial alliance between the son of the former, Jehoram, and the daughter of the latter, Athaliah; see 2 Chronicles 18:1; 2 Kings 8:18. This coalition did not please God, and Jehoshaphat is severely reproved for it by Jehu the seer, 2 Chronicles 19:1-3.
