“So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.”
King James Version (KJV)
22:27 Bread, &c. - With a very course and sparing diet, whereby he maybe only supported to endure his torment.
22:31 Save only - This he ordered, truly supposing this to be the bestway to put an end to the war: and by the providence of God, which disposeththe hearts of kings as he pleaseth; and inclined them to this course, thatthey might, though ignorantly, accomplish his counsel. Perhaps Ben - hadadonly designed to have taken him prisoner, that he might now give him ashonourable a treatment, as he had formerly received from him.
