Contextual Overview

6So King Joram marched out from Samaria at that time and mobilized all Israel. 7Then he sent a message to King Jehoshaphat of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” 8He asked, “Which route should we take?” 9So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out. After they had traveled their indirect route for seven days, they had no water for the army or the animals with them. 10Then the king of Israel said, “Oh no, the Lord has summoned these three kings, only to hand them over to Moab.” 11But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of the Lord here? Let’s inquire of the Lord through him.” 12Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the Lord is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went to him. 13However, Elisha said to King Joram of Israel, “What do we have in common? Go to the prophets of your father and your mother!” 14Elisha responded, “By the life of the Lord of Armies, before whom I stand: If I did not have respect for King Jehoshaphat of Judah, I wouldn’t look at you; I would not take notice of you. 15Now, bring me a musician.”

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And King Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, e.] As soon as he came to the throne:

and numbered all Israel who were fit to bear arms, got them together at some certain place, and mustered them, and prepared for a war with Moab, to reduce them.
