³ The king of Israel had said to his officials, “Don’t you know that Ramoth Gilead^(A) belongs to us and yet we are doing nothing to retake it from the king of Aram?”

Ahab Killed at Ramoth Gilead^(A)

²⁹ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.

²⁸ Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead.^(A) The Arameans wounded Joram; ²⁹ so King Joram returned to Jezreel^(B) to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramoth^[a] in his battle with Hazael^(C) king of Aram.

Then Ahaziah^(D) son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab, because he had been wounded.
