Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 22:49
22:49 Would not - He did join with Ahaziah before this time, andbefore the ships were broken: for the breaking of the ships mentionedhere, is noted to be the effect of his sin, in joining with Ahaziah,#2Chron 20:37|.And Jehoshaphat being warned and chastised by God for this sin,would not be persuaded to repeat it.
