Commentary

Matthew Henry on 1 Kings 22:41–end

Here is, I. A short account of the reign of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, of which we shall have a much fuller narrative in the book of Chronicles, and of the greatness and goodness of that prince, neither of which was lessened or sullied by any thing but his intimacy with the house of Ahab, which, upon several accounts, was a diminution to him.

The officers at first directed their assault on Jehoshaphat, but, b…
