So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Ahab king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up together to fight at Ramoth-gilead even though the prophet had warned that God did not favor their venture. Ahab was determined to carry out his plan, and Jehoshaphat went with him because he was unwilling to break his promise to join in the war. Their united refusal to heed the warning ended in disaster, for Ahab died in the battle in fulfillment of the prophetic word.
