Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king." — 2 Chronicles 18:5 (ASV)
Therefore. — And.
Of prophets. —Rather, the prophets.
Four hundred. —Kings, About four hundred. Also, Adonai (“the Lord”), instead of ha’elôhîm (“the [true] God”); and I go against for we go to, where the former is obviously more appropriate.
