“Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.”

1 Kings 22:1

Save as image

Study note

Ahab had defeated the Arameans twice but then let their king Ben-hadad go with a treaty, earning a prophet's rebuke. This verse notes that three years passed without war between Aram and Israel, a pause that ends when Ahab decides to retake the border city of Ramoth-gilead and asks Jehoshaphat of Judah to join him.
