Disse quindi a Giosafat: "Verresti a combattere con me a Ramoth di Galaad?". Giosafat rispose al re dIsraele "Conta su di me come su te stesso, sulla mia gente come sulla tua gente, sui miei cavalli come sui tuoi cavalli".
Poi disse a Giosafat: Andrai tu meco alla guerra contro a Ramot di Galaad? E Giosafat disse al re d’Israele: Fa’ conto di me come di te, e della mia gente come della tua, e de’ miei cavalli come de’ tuoi.

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.
