(5) And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD today.
I beg the Reader to admire Jehoshaphat's piety in this instance. Though he knew well the infamous idolatry of Ahab, yet he calls upon him to consult the Lord. Reader! it is always profitable to look up for guidance from heaven, before we undertake anything upon earth. That is a blessed maxim: Proverbs 3:5-6.
