 "The Chronicler’s Jehoshaphat" by Ray Dillard
In addition to the similarity of outline for the two accounts, Asa's second battle and Jehoshaphat's first both involve the northern kingdom, once as an enemy (16:1–9) and once as an ally (18:1–19:3); in both of these cases the kings of Judah are condemned for their wrongdoing.
The basic compositional influence for the Chronicler's record of Jehoshaphat is the same as for his accounts of other reigns-his theology of immediate retribution.
The appearance of Micaiah before Ahab and Jehoshaphat is the only extended prophetic narrative in Chronicles; its inclusion in these books is all the more surprising in light of the author's comparative disinterest in the affairs of the northern kingdom.

 Letter From a Dead Man LETTER FROM A DEAD MAN Farrell Till An old adage says, +quot;Dead m
Ahaziah succeeded his father Ahab as king of Israel in the 17th year of Jehoshaphat's reign as king of Judah ([ref007]1 Kings 22:51), but Ahaziah "did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh" and paid with his life ([ref008]1 Kings 22:52 ; [ref009]2 Kings 1:17).
That the writer of [ref014]2 Kings believed that Elijah was no longer on the scene in the latter stages of Jehoshaphat's reign is evident from [ref015]3:4-20, which tells the story of Jehoram of Israel's attempt to form an alliance with Jehoshaphat against king Mesha of Moab.
In point of fact, the text makes it very clear that this atrocity was committed after Jehoshaphat was dead: Now when Jehoram was established over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the princes of Israel (v:4).

In Jehoshaphat's case, God brought war and trouble to Judah: "It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle" (2 Chronicles 20:1).
