	Volume VI Chap 5
		To them Ben-hadad gave special orders to direct their movements exclusively against the king of Israel,* in the hope that, with his capture or death, alike the battle and the campaign would be ended.
		And when we compare this with the language of Jehoshaphat on entering into alliance with Ahab (1 Kings 22:4), and before he had heard the words of Micaiah, we feel that the contrast between his promises and performance must have been due to the prophetic warning which he had heard.
		The sun was going down, and his slanting rays fell on the dying Ahab - more royal now than in his life.* Presently the sound of battle was stilled, and the rest of darkness fell on the combatants.

	"The Chronicler’s Jehoshaphat" by Ray Dillard
		Though the battle for Ramoth-gilead is found in both accounts (1 Kgs 22:1–40; 2 Chr 18:1–19:3), in Kings the context makes the primary function of that narrative to account for the death of Ahab, but in Chronicles the same account is put to quite different use.
		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.
		Though there are two battle reports for each king, the sequence is reversed: Asa begins with a victory during a period of fidelity, but ends with an alliance that provoked prophetic rebuke.

	Easton's Bible Dictionary
		Escaping from the bloody battle of Ramoth-gilead, the prophet Jehu (Ch2 19:1) reproached him for the course he had been pursuing, whereupon he entered with rigour on his former course of opposition to all idolatry, and of deepening interest in the worship of God and in the righteous government of the people (Ch2 19:4).
