Three years without war. — The period is clearly reckoned from the rash peace made by Ahab with Ben-hadad in 1 Kings 20:34. Evidently the king of Syria has recovered his independence, if not superiority; he has not restored Ramoth-gilead according to his promise; and his revived power is sufficient to cope with the united forces of Israel and Judah. The sagacity of the prophetic rebuke of 1 Kings 20:42 has been amply justified.
