riches: 2 Chronicles 1:11-15, 2 Chronicles 17:5, 2 Chronicles 17:12, Matthew 6:33

joined affinity: He took Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab, to be wife to his son Joram - 2 Kings 8:18, which fatal connection was highly displeasing to God, and Jehoshaphat was severely reproved for it by Jehu the seer, 2 Chronicles 19:1-3. 2 Chronicles 18:31, 2 Chronicles 19:2, 2 Chronicles 21:6, 2 Chronicles 22:2, 2 Chronicles 22:3, 1 Kings 16:31-33, 1 Kings 21:25, 2 Kings 8:18, 2 Kings 8:26, 2 Kings 8:27, 2 Kings 11:1, 2 Corinthians 6:14

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 3:1 - affinity 1 Kings 22:2 - Jehoshaphat

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance,.... Still more and more, see 2 Chronicles 17:5, and which moved Ahab to desire friendship and affinity with him, to which Jehoshaphat agreed:

and joined affinity with Ahab; king of Israel, married his son Joram to Athaliah, a daughter of Ahab by Jezebel of Zidon; which marriage proved of bad consequence to Jehoshaphat and his family.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The present chapter runs parallel with Kings, which it closely follows, only adding a few touches.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVIII

Jehoshaphat joins affinity with Ahab, king of Israel, 1, 2;

who invites him to assist him in the war against the Syrians,

to which Jehoshaphat agrees, 3.

They consult the prophets concerning the success of the war;

and all, except Micaiah, promise Ahab victory, 4-17.

Micaiah relates his vision concerning the lying spirit in the

mouth of Ahab's prophets, 18-22.

Zedekiah, a false prophet, opposes Micaiah; and Micaiah is put

in prison, 23-27.

Both the kings go against the Syrians; the confederate armies

are defeated, and the king of Israel slain, 28-31.

NOTES ON CHAP. XVIII

Verse 2 Chronicles 18:1. Jehoshaphat had riches and honour — The preceding chapter gives ample proof of this.

Joined affinity with Ahab. — Took his daughter Athalia to be wife to his son Joram.
