TSNTyndale Study Notes:

18:28-34 Although Ahab knew he had gone against God’s will and was therefore liable for the consequences, his immediate concern was the Aramean army. His belief that he could defy God’s judgment against him indicates his disregard for the Lord; his error was fatal.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) That is the king of Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was when,saw commanders_of the,chariots DOM Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) and,they said king Yisrael he/it and,turned on/upon/above=him/it to,fight and,cried_out Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) and=YHWH helped,him and,drew_~_away,them ʼElohīm from,him )

Jehoshaphat was wrongly identified as the king of Israel because Ahab had insisted that he wear kingly robes.

(Occurrence 0) God turned them away from him

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was when,saw commanders_of the,chariots DOM Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) and,they said king Yisrael he/it and,turned on/upon/above=him/it to,fight and,cried_out Yəhōshāfāţ/(Jehoshaphat) and=YHWH helped,him and,drew_~_away,them ʼElohīm from,him )
