Another battle in which King Jehoshaphat shows his faith and his flaws.
We are near the end of his life in this story and at the end of this character study.
Time to consider his legacy. For a man of God, respected, as we see, by the prophet Elisha, his legacy is shocking.
We try to detail all that flows from the ill-advised alliance between Jehoshaphat and Ahab of Israel, which is probably another example of Jehoshaphat undertaking great enterprises for the sake of unifying Israel and Judah, but getting into bad trouble because he does not seek the LORD first.
In the end we see how we need Jesus, but how this story shows that but for God's power the line of David would have perished long before it got to Jesus.
