7<\/strong>. And he went and sent<\/em> ] This Hebrew verb ‘to go’ is not un-frequently placed before another finite verb, without any special sense of moving from a place, but merely to express the idea of ‘setting about’ the act indicated by the following verb. Thus Exo 2:1<\/span>, ‘There went a man<\/em> and took to wife a daughter of Levi’. Cf. also Deu 31:1<\/span>, ‘Moses went and spake<\/em> ’.<\/p>\n to Jehoshaphat<\/em> ] The close family alliance existing at the time between the royal families of Israel and Judah made this a not unnatural request. Cf. Ahab’s message to king Jehoshaphat (1Ki 22:4<\/span>). Jehoshaphat gives to Jehoram almost the same reply which he had given on the previous occasion to his father.<\/p>\n I will go up<\/em> ] The hill country of Moab was considerably more elevated than the lands on the west of the Jordan; not so mountainous as Gilead, but sufficient to justify the expression of Jehoshaphat, though Jehoram had not used the word.<\/p>\n The close alliance between the two kingdoms still subsisted. Jehoram therefore sends confidently to make the same request with respect to Moab that his father had made two years before with respect to Syria (marginal reference). Jehoshaphat consented at once, notwithstanding that his former compliance had drawn upon him the rebuke of a prophet 2Ch 19:2<\/span>. Perhaps Jehorams removal of the Baal-worship 2Ki 3:2<\/span> weighed with him. He had himself been attacked by the Moabites in the preceding year; and though the attempt had failed, Jehoshaphat would feel that it might be renewed, and that it was important to seize the opportunity of weakening his enemy which now offered itself.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 7<\/span>. My people as thy people<\/B><\/I>] We find that Jehoshaphat maintained the same friendly intercourse with the son<\/I>, as he did with the father<\/I>. See 1Kg 22:4<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Of which see on 1Ki 22:4<\/span>. He joins with him in this war, partly because the war was very just in itself, and convenient for Jehoshaphat, both in the general, that rebels and revolters should be chastised and suppressed, lest the example should pass into his dominions, and the Edomites should be hereby encouraged to revolt from him, as they did from his son; and in particular, that the Moabites should be humbled, who had with others invaded his land before this time, 2Ch 20:1<\/span>, and might do so again if they were not brought low, for which a fair opportunity was now offered to him; and partly because Jehoram had reformed some things, and Jehoshaphat hoped by this means to engage him to proceed further in that work. <\/P> <\/p>\n And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, the king of Moab hath rebelled against me<\/strong>,…. By refusing to pay him tribute:<\/p>\n wilt thou go up with me against Moab to battle? and he said, I will go up<\/strong>; which he agreed to, partly to encourage in the reformation of religion which he had begun, and partly to chastise the Moabites for their invasion of his country, 2Ch 20:1<\/span>.<\/p>\n I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses<\/strong>; the same answer he returned to Ahab, [See comments on 1Ki 22:4]<\/span>.<\/p>\n (7) Wilt thou go.<\/strong>So Ahab asks Jehoshaphat in 1Ki. 22:4<\/span>, and he replies as here, I am as thou art, &c. This indicates that the present section was originally composed by the same hand as 1Ki. 20:1-34<\/span>; 1Ki. 22:1-37<\/span> (Thenius<\/em>) Jehoshaphat assented, in spite of the prophetic censures of his alliance with Ahab and Ahaziah (2Ch. 19:2<\/span>; 2Ch. 20:37<\/span>); perhaps because he was anxious to inflict further punishment on the Moabites for their inroad into Judah (2 Chronicles 20<\/span>), and to prevent any recurrence of the same (Keil<\/em>).<\/p>\n Against Moab to battle?<\/strong>Or, into Moab to the war? 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> Sent to Jehoshaphat <\/strong> Whose son and successor, Jehoram, was brother-in-law to Jehoram king of Israel by marriage with Athaliah, daughter of Ahab. 2Ch 21:6<\/span>. <\/p>\n I will go up <\/strong> In spite of the reproof of Jehu (2Ch 19:2<\/span>) for assisting Ahab in the war against Syria, Jehoshaphat repeats in substance the same act of joining Jehoram in battle against Moab. Perhaps, however, the interests of the kingdom of Judah demanded that Jehoshaphat should engage in this war with Moab, for the expedition of the combined armies of Moab, Ammon, and Edom against Jehoshaphat, which is narrated in 2 Chronicles xx, had probably occurred before this time.<\/p>\n 2Ki 3:7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people, [and] my horses as thy horses.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. And he said, I will go up.<\/strong> ] See on 2Ki 3:2<\/span> . The Moabites had lately, with other nations, invaded Judah, 2Ch 20:1 and therefore it may be Jehoshaphat hearkened the rather to Jehoram’s motion.<\/p>\n I am, &c. Compare 1Ki 22:4. <\/p>\n wilt thou go: 1Ki 22:4, 1Ki 22:32, 1Ki 22:33, 2Ch 18:3, 2Ch 18:29-32, 2Ch 19:2, 2Ch 21:4-7, 2Ch 22:3, 2Ch 22:4, 2Ch 22:10-12 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ki 8:28 – he went<\/p>\n 3:7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: {d} I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people, [and] my horses as thy horses.<\/p>\n (d) Read 1Ki 22:4.<\/p>\n And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people, [and] my horses as thy horses. 7.
