1 Kings 22 - Introduction

XXII.

1 Kings 22 is the continuation of 1 Kings 20 (which in the LXX. immediately precedes it) in record of the Syrian war, but in tone far grander and spiritually instructive, a fit catastrophe of the tragedy of Ahab’s reign. In it, for the first time since 1 Kings 15:24, the history of Judah is touched upon; and there is an almost verbal coincidence with 2 Chronicles 18.
