32<\/strong>. when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat<\/em> ] They would recognise from a distance that this was a royal personage, and would naturally suppose that it could be none other than Ahab. On approaching nearer they would probably discern that he was not wearing the armour and insignia of Israel. The LXX. represents them as saying ‘This seems to be<\/em> the king of Israel,’ as if they were guided by the robes and kingly array.<\/p>\n And they turned aside to fight against him<\/em> ] The LXX. has ‘and they compassed him about &c.’<\/p>\n and Jehoshaphat cried out<\/em> ] Perhaps to his own men to rally round him for defence. It can hardly have been a cry to his assailants to let them know he was not the man they sought. For he could not be acquainted with the orders they had received. We see from the expansion in 2Ch 18:31<\/span> ‘But Jehoshaphat cried out and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart<\/em> from him’ that it was understood at that time that the cry was to Jehovah to save him from the danger. The Vulg. has ‘clamavit ad Dominum.’<\/p>\n Surely it is the king of Israel – <\/B>This was a natural supposition, as Jehoshaphat alone wore royal robes.<\/P> And Jehoshaphat cried out – <\/B>Jehoshaphat called to his men for help, using perhaps his own special battle-cry, which would be distinct from that of Ahab, and would probably be known to the Syrians.<\/P> <\/p>\n They turned aside; <\/B>they drew their forces from their several quarters towards Jehoshaphat. <\/P> Jehoshaphat cried out to the Lord for help, <\/B>2Ch 18:31<\/B><\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat<\/strong>,…. In his royal robes:<\/p>\n that they said, surely it is the king of Israel<\/strong>; for they might not know the persons either of Ahab or him, but judged by his habit:<\/p>\n and they turned aside to fight against him<\/strong>; pressed upon him with all their force, either to take him or slay him:<\/p>\n and Jehoshaphat cried out<\/strong>; with a loud voice, either to the captains to let them know who he was, or to his men to come to his assistance, or rather to God to help and deliver him; since it is said in 2Ch 18:31<\/span> that the Lord helped him, and moved or inclined the hearts of the captains to depart from him, as it follows here.<\/p>\n (32) Cried out<\/strong>i.e., <\/em>to rally his people round him In 2Ch. 18:31<\/span> it is added, And the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.<\/p>\n 32<\/strong>. <\/strong> Jehoshaphat cried out <\/strong> He called upon God to save him, and probably used in his prayer his own name, or title, or at least some expression by which those Syrian captains learned that he was not the king of Israel. By this means “the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.” 2Ch 18:31<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ki 22:32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it [is] the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.<\/p>\n Ver. 32. And Jehoshaphat cried out.<\/strong> ] To God for help, 2Ch 18:31 but in addition in such a manner, as the Syrians perceived it was not Ahab, perhaps because he cried out to Jehovah alone, contemnens minutulos illos deos, modo Iovam sibi propitium haberet.<\/em> And now Jehoshaphat seeth to his sorrow the great inconvenience of being in bad company: and that green wood also, if bound up with dry, doth easily take fire, and is burned together.<\/p>\n it = he. <\/p>\n cried out. See note on 2Ch 18:31. <\/p>\n they turned: Pro 13:20 <\/p>\n Jehoshaphat: Exo 14:10, 2Ch 18:31, Psa 50:15, Psa 91:15, Psa 116:1, Psa 116:2, Psa 130:1-4, Jon 2:1, Jon 2:2 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 22:12 – Go up 2Ki 3:7 – wilt thou go 1Ch 5:20 – in the battle<\/p>\n 1Ki 22:32-33. When the captains saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Surely, &c. They saw no other but him in a royal habit, and hence concluded he must be the king of Israel, whom they believed to be present in the battle, and to be the commander of the Israelitish army. They turned aside to fight against him They drew their forces from their several quarters toward him. And Jehoshaphat cried out By his danger God now let him know that he was displeased with him, for joining in confederacy with Ahab. They that associate with evil doers are in danger of sharing in their plagues. When the captains perceived it was not the king of Israel This they would easily perceive, either by the words which he spake, when he cried out, or by the difference of his form and countenance from those of Ahab, whom, probably, many of them had seen, and knew well. They turned back from pursuing him Thus, by his deliverance, God showed him that, though he was displeased with him, he had not deserted him. To him he cried out, not in cowardice, but devotion, and from him his relief came. For God, who has the hearts of all men in his hand, moved them to depart from him, 2Ch 18:31. In the mean time Ahab, who brought him into this danger, seems to have been in no care to succour him. God is a friend who will not fail us when other friends do.<\/p>\n 22:32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it [is] the king of Israel.
