2 Chronicles 18
1. Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is persuaded to go against Ramoth Gilead
4. Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the word of Micaiah, is slain there














(24) Thou shalt see.--Thou art to see, or, destined to see, on that day when thou shalt enter a chamber in a chamber to hide thyself (l?h?ch?b?h", correctly. Kings, l?h?ch?b?h). Zedekiah's further history is not recorded--an indication, as Ewald justly observes, that the original narrative contained much more than the present extract from it.

Verse 24. - So also, probably, this verse would purport to tell us beforehand distinctly what is not told after the issue of the battle and Ahab's death, that Zedekiah and his co-prophets did what they could, however vainly, to hide and to elude the vengeance of Jezebel (1 Kings 20:30; 1 Kings 22:25; 2 Kings 9:2).
