A Dangerous Alliance
Commentators explain that Jehoshaphat's great success led him to form an alliance with the wicked King Ahab of Israel. This 'affinity' was sealed by the marriage of Jehoshaphat's son, Jehoram, to Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel. Scholars like John Gill note this decision would have disastrous consequences for Judah's royal family.
