2 Chronicles 18:1-3

New Catholic Bible

Chapter 18

Alliance with King Ahab. ¹ When Jehoshaphat had accumulated great wealth and honor, he allied himself to Ahab by marriage. ² Some years later he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria. Ahab slaughtered an abundance of sheep and oxen for him and his retinue, hoping also to persuade him to join forces and attack Ramoth-gilead.

³ King Ahab of Israel, therefore, asked Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: “Will you join me in attacking Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied: “I am united with you. My people are your people. We will join you in this war.”
