When we last read from the book of 2 Chronicles we were introduced to Asa\u2019s son, King Jehoshaphat, and as we\u2019ve read from 1 Kings, we\u2019ve heard an account of his partnership with King Ahab of Israel. We\u2019ll hear some parallels from the 1 Kings account today, but we\u2019ll hear more about King Jehoshaphat then Ahab. Remember that Asa, Jehoshaphat\u2019s father, failed to call upon the name of the Lord when there was threat of war, but by contrast, Jehoshaphat regularly calls upon the Lord throughout this narrative. Each time Jehoshaphat humbles himself and prays or calls a prophet to inquire of the Lord, the Lord is gracious and delivers him from trouble, blessing Israel with riches and peace.
