23 Then Zedekiah H6667 the son H1121 of Chenaanah H3668 came near, H5066 and smote H5221 Micaiah H4321 upon the cheek, H3895 and said, H559 Which H335 way H1870 went H5674 the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 from me to speak H1696 unto thee?
24 And Micaiah H4321 said, H559 Behold, thou shalt see H7200 on that day H3117 when thou shalt go H935 into an inner H2315 chamber H2315 to hide H2244 thyself.

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 18 John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance,.... Still more and more, see 2 Chronicles 17:5, and which moved Ahab to desire friendship and affinity with him, to which Jehoshaphat agreed:
and joined affinity with Ahab; king of Israel, married his son Joram to Athaliah, a daughter of Ahab by Jezebel of Zidon; which marriage proved of bad consequence to Jehoshaphat and his family.
And after certain years,.... Two years, according to the Syriac and Arabic versions, or in the third year after the affinity was contracted, see 1 Kings 22:2,
he went down to Ahab to Samaria; to pay him a visit upon the alliance, civil and matrimonial, contracted between them:
and Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him; entertained him and his retinue in a very grand and liberal manner:
and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead; from hence, to the end of the chapter, it is the same with 1 Kings 22:4.
