1 Kings 20:34• 34And Ben-Hadad said unto him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. (1 Kings 20:34)
• This then was what had resulted from Ahab’s covenant with Ben-Hadad: a short respite of three years without war! After that Ben-Hadad, just scarcely set free, had not kept his promises (cf. 1 Kings 20:34): he had not restored Ramoth-Gilead. (“Ahab and Jehoshaphat: 1 Kings 22” by H.L. Rossier)
• From whence did this relationship arise? From the fact that Jehoshaphat had “allied himself with Ahab by marriage,” not personally, but Jehoram his son had taken a daughter of Ahab as wife (2 Chron. 18:1; 21:6). This alliance was a great evil, and the king of Judah had to prove its serious consequences. (“Ahab and Jehoshaphat: 1 Kings 22” by H.L. Rossier)
