And my people . . . in the war--The symmetry of this part of the verse has been disregarded by the chronicler, in order to make Jehoshaphat express an apparently more definite assent to Ahab's request. (Comp. Kings: "My people as thy people, my horses as thy horses" (kamoni kamoka, k?'ammi k?'ammbka, k?s-sai k?s-seika). The Syriac reads: "And my horses as thy horses; and I will go with thee to the war." Similarly the Arabic: "My horsemen as thy horsemen."

Whether on the one occasion or the other, it is quite possible that Jehoshaphat thought he was serving common interests, and the cause of his own kingdom, as well as of Israel; nevertheless "Jehu the son of Hanani the seer" ignores the supposed justification (2 Chronicles 19:2).Parallel Commentaries ...
