[:en]Jehoshaphat allied himself with Ahab by marriage. Ahab, king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat to go to war with him against Ramoth Gilead, the king of Aram. But Jehoshaphat wanted to seek the counsel of prophet Micaiah. So he sent Micaiah and he prophesied defeat if they would engage in war with the Arameans. But the Zedekiah, the prophet of Ahab prophesied otherwise, so he slapped the face of Micaiah and Ahab put him in prison. Ahab and Jeshoshaphat went to war with Ramoth Gilead, king of Aram. Ahab was killed in the battle while Jehoshaphat returned safely.[:]
