Contextual Overview

¹ Joram son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in Jehoshaphat's eighteenth year as king of Judah. And Joram ruled twelve years. ² He did what the Lord said was wrong, but he was not like his father and mother; he removed the stone pillars his father had made for Baal. ³ But he continued to sin like Jeroboam son of Nebat who had led Israel to sin. Joram did not stop doing these same sins. ⁴ Mesha king of Moab raised sheep. He paid the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand sheep. ⁵ But when Ahab died, the king of Moab turned against the king of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah,.... So that the two years of the reign of his brother Ahaziah were not complete, only part of the seventeenth and part of the eighteenth of Jehoshaphat, since he began to reign in his seventeenth year, at the beginning of that, and died towards the close of the eighteenth, when Jehoram succeeded him, see 1 Kings 22:51, and reigned twelve years.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat - This date agrees exactly with the statements that Jehoshaphat began to reign in the fourth year of Ahab 1 Kings 22:41, and Ahaziah in the 17th year of Jehoshaphat 1 Kings 22:51.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER III

The reign and idolatry of Jehoram, king of Israel, 1-3.

Mesha, king of Moab, rebels against Israel, 4, 5.

Jehoram, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom join against the

Moabites, and are brought into great distress for want of

water, 6-10.

The three kings go to Elisha to inquire of the Lord; who

promises them water, and a complete victory, 11-19.

Water comes the next morning, and fills the trenches which

these kings had made in the valley, 20.

The Moabites arm against them; and suppose, when they see the

sun shining upon the waters, which look like blood, that the

confederate kings have fallen out, and slain each other; and

that they have nothing to do but take the spool, 21-23.

The Israelites attack and completely rout then, beat down their

cities, and mar their land, 24, 25.

The king of Moab, having made an unsuccessful attack on the

king of Edom, takes his eldest son, and of offers him for a

burnt-offering upon the wall; and there is great indignation

against Israel, 26, 27.
