Jehoshaphat: Rescued
vision
Psalm 34:4
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
2 Chronicles18:28-34,
19:1-3
(Also told in: 1 King
22:29-37)
So the king of Israel and
Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 29
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will enter the battle in
disguise, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised
himself and went into battle.
30 Now the king of Aram
had ordered his chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great,
except the king of Israel.” 31 When the
chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, “This is the king of Israel.”
So they turned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him. God drew them away from him, 32
for when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel,
they stopped pursuing him.
33 But someone drew his
bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the breastplate and the scale
armor. The king told the chariot driver, “Wheel around and get me out of the
fighting. I’ve been wounded.” 34 All day
long the battle raged, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot
facing the Arameans until evening. Then at sunset he died…When Jehoshaphat king
of Judah returned safely to his palace in Jerusalem, 2
Jehu the seer, the son of Hanani, went out to meet him and said to the
king, “Should you help the wicked and love[a] those who
hate the Lord? Because of this, the wrath of the Lord is on you.
3 There is, however, some good in you, for you have
rid the land of the Asherah poles and have set your heart on seeking God.
