2 CHRONICLES 18:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth–gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.”
Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, 'Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead?' And he answered him, 'I am as you are, my people as your people; we will be with you in the war' — Ahab's proposal (הַתֵּלֵךְ אִתִּי אֶל־רָמוֹת־גִּלְעָד) met Jehoshaphat's naive agreement (אֲנִי כְמוֹךָ וְעַמִּי כְעַמְּךָ עִמְּךָ בַמִּלְחָמָה). The phrase 'I am as you are' represented dangerous identification with the apostate northern regime.
