1 Kings22:29
29 So the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Who, though a good man, yet was easily deceived in this matter; partly, because Micaiah was a person unknown to him, and both he and the other Prophets pretending to give their answer in the Name of the Lord, it seemed hard to him to determine the controversy, which onely the event could decide; and therefore it is no wonder if he was overborn by the vast disproportion of 400 Prophets to one, and by his Relation, and Obligation, and Affection to Ahab: and partly, because the War was Just and Lawful to recover his own rights, which the Syrian King unjustly detained from him.
