1 Kings 22:4-5
22:4 Then he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to attack Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I will support you; my army and horses are at your disposal.” 1
22:5 Then Jehoshaphat added, 2 “First seek an oracle from the Lord.” 3
1 tn Heb “Like me, like you; like my people, like your people; like my horses; like your horses.”
2 tn Heb “and Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel.”
3 tn Heb “the word of the Lord.” Jehoshaphat is requesting a prophetic oracle revealing the Lord’s will in the matter and their prospects for success. For examples of such oracles, see 2 Sam 5:19, 23-24.
