1 Kings 22:1-40 | 2 Chronicles 18

This is the story of the death of wicked king Ahab, who enlisted Jehoshaphat (king of Judah) to join him against the Syrians in battle. Jehoshaphat was a godly man, and he asked that they inquire of the Lord regarding this plan. All the false prophets in Israel encouraged Ahab to go, but the one prophet of God said that Ahab would die in the battle, and that it was from an evil and lying spirit that Ahab’s prophets spoke. All that the Lord’s prophet came to pass, and Ahab died, thus ending the reign of one of the most wicked kings in the history of Israel.
