2 Kings 3:7

And he went and sent This Hebrew verb -to go" is not un-frequently placed before another finite verb, without any special sense of moving from a place, but merely to express the idea of -setting about" the act indicated by the following verb. Thus Exodus 2:1, -There went a man… and took to wife a daughter of Levi". Cf. also Deuteronomy 31:1, -Moses went and spake".

to Jehoshaphat The close family alliance existing at the time between the royal families of Israel and Judah made this a not unnatural request. Cf. Ahab's message to king Jehoshaphat (1 Kings 22:4). Jehoshaphat gives to Jehoram almost the same reply which he had given on the previous occasion to his father.

I will go up The hill country of Moab was considerably more elevated than the lands on the west of the Jordan; not so mountainous as Gilead, but sufficient to justify the expression of Jehoshaphat, though Jehoram had not used the word.
