1Ki 22:31 | MHM | STEP | v. 31 : Jehoshaphat, who is a good person but not always careful, ends up in the most dangerous position by wearing his royal robe. The king of Syria has ordered his captains to focus only on attacking the king of Israel (1 Kings 22:31 ). When the soldiers see Jehoshaphat in royal clothes, they think he is Ahab and chase after him. God allows Jehoshaphat to face danger to show His displeasure for joining with Ahab, but He also saves him. Some soldiers realize their mistake and stop chasing him, but God moved them to depart from him (2 Chronicles 18:31 ). Jehoshaphat cries out to God and receives help. This shows that God remains faithful even when friends fail us.
