| I Kings 22:2
| And *in the third year, Josaphat, king of Juda, came down to the king of Israel.
| Josaphat. It is wonderful that a prince of so great piety, should be on terms of such strict friendship with a most wicked king. God did not approve of it; and the event was unfortunate, 2 Paralipomenon 20:37. Achab received the king of Juda with extraordinary magnificence, 2 Paralipomenon 18:2. It is thought that (Calmet) the latter had married his daughter, (Grotius) or rather (Haydock) he had taken Athalia for his son Joram, 2 Paralipomenon 18:1. (Tirinus) (Menochius)
