And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, the king of Moab hath rebelled against me, etc.] By refusing to pay him tribute: wilt thou go up with me against Moab to battle? and he said, I will go up; which he agreed to, partly to encourage in the reformation of religion which he had begun, and partly to chastise the Moabites for their invasion of his country, (<142001>2 Chronicles 20:1). I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses; the same answer he returned to Ahab, (see Gill on “<112204>1 Kings 22:4”).
