1 Kings 22

There are 4 persons who play roles in this chapter;

Ahab, Jehoshaphat, Zedekiah and the prophets, and Macaiah- each should be considered for the things they did or said.

Also, a parallel reading for this chapter is 2 Chronicles 18.

Questions to consider for 1 Kings 22

  1. What is the relationship between Ahab and Jehoshaphat?
  2. Who are the 400 prophets of Ahab?
  3. What is it that Ahab wants and why does he want it?
  4. Who is Micaiah? Have we seen him before (explain)?
  5. How is he different than the 400 prophets of Ahab?
  6. What are Jehoshaphat's actions in this chapter?
  7. What are the strategies of the Syrians and of Ahab?
  8. What is the outcome of the battle?
  9. What is the legacy of Ahab?
  10. What does 2 Chronicles 18 add to our understanding of 1 Kings 22?

Things to think about

  1. What does this chapter tell us about Ahab? Consider some of the things that happened at the end of Chapter 21.
  2. What does this tell us about Jehoshaphat? What can we learn from him in this chapter?
  3. What is/are the difference(s) between these two kings?
  4. What do you see about Micaiah that is characteristic in servants of God?
  5. What does the LORD show us about Himself in this chapter?
