1 Kings 22:6

Context
22:6 So the king of Israel assembled about four hundred prophets and asked them, “Should I attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” 7  They said, “Attack! The sovereign one 8  will hand it over to the king.”

1 sn During the month Ziv. This would be April-May, 966 b.c. by modern reckoning.

2 tn Heb “he built.”

3 sn The Palace of the Lebanon Forest. This name was appropriate because of the large amount of cedar, undoubtedly brought from Lebanon, used in its construction. The cedar pillars in the palace must have given it the appearance of a forest.

4 tn Heb “one hundred cubits.”

5 tn Heb “fifty cubits.”

6 tn Heb “thirty cubits.”

7 tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

8 tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.
