[Stuff we're skipping over:
* OK, so Ahab (king of Israel) and Jehoshaphat (king of Judah) are hanging out one day, when someone tells Ahab that they need to take a particular city back from the Syrians. Well, Ahab gets Jehoshaphat's commitment to fight with him; and he asks 400 prophets whether or not they could win if they went to battle. In typical false prophet style, they assure him that they can win. Jehoshaphat smells something fishy and asks if there is another prophet to ask (maybe one not on the payroll?). They summon Micaiah, who is unpopular with Ahab because he never prophesies anything good about him (there might be a reason for that). Then some dude named Zedekiah makes props to show how much Israel and Judah are going to win. Micaiah first sarcastically tells Ahab that he's going to win, but he eventually tells that truth. Zedekiah slaps him. Micaiah promises certain doom for both of them while he's drug into a prison.]
Ah…here we go…
1. First things first. Um, why does Ahab get to go incognito while Jehoshaphat gets still wear his crown (aka TARGET) on his head?
2. Of course, the Syrians are gunning for the king. Wouldn’t you?
3. When Jehoshaphat cried out, the Syrians realized it wasn’t Ahab; so they let him go. Maybe they thought he was a decoy?
4. I love how is says that “at random” God’s will (Micaiah’s prohecy) is accomplished when Ahab gets shot.
5. Man, and then they scatter. And then they clean out the chariot, while the dogs lick up the blood and the prostitutes bath in the bloody water? Weird.
6. Important to note that Ahab’s son, Ahaziah takes over the throne of Israel.
