Jehoshaphat of Judah joins Ahab of Israel to fight Syria. Ahab’s false prophets foretell victory. Micaiah prophesies the fall and death of Ahab. The Syrians slay Ahab. Jehoshaphat is rebuked for helping ungodly Ahab. He helps the people return to the Lord, sets up judges, and administers justice. The Ammonites and others attack Judah. Jehoshaphat and all the people fast and pray. Jahaziel prophesies the deliverance of Judah. Judah’s attackers war among and destroy themselves. Jehoram slays his brothers, marries Ahab’s daughter, and reigns in wickedness. Elijah prophesies a plague upon the people and the death of Jehoram. The Philistines and others war against Judah. Jehoram dies of sore diseases. Ahaziah reigns in wickedness and is slain by Jehu; his mother, Athaliah, reigns in his stead.
