Joe: Alright, let's talk about 1 Kings 22! What's going on in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, this chapter is about King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah visiting the false prophet Micaiah to ask him for advice. Micaiah tells Ahab not to go to battle against Syria because he will be killed and so Ahab puts him in prison.

Joe: Wow, so what happens next?

Bible Expert: Well, Ahab decides to go to war anyway and even though Jehoshaphat's army is there to help, Ahab is still killed in battle. After Ahab's death, his son Ahaziah becomes king and he continues to follow the same false prophets that his father did.

Joe: Hey Jamie, check this out! Is it true that Ahaziah was killed by Jehu?

Jamie: Yes, Joe, it's true. Jehu was anointed by the prophet Elijah as king of Israel and he killed Ahaziah and all of his family members.

Joe: Wow, that's crazy. So what happens in the rest of the chapter?

Bible Expert: Well, the rest of the chapter is about Jehoshaphat's son Jehoram becoming king of Judah and how he follows the same false prophets that his father did. He was eventually killed by the Philistines. This chapter also talks about how the Lord was angry with the people of Israel because they were worshipping false gods and not following his commands.
