Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned in safety to his house in Jerusalem.
Here is, I. The great favour God showed to Jehoshaphat, 1. In bringing him back in safety from his dangerous expedition with Ahab, which had like to have cost him dearly (Ch2 19:1): He returned to his house in peace. Notice is taken of this to intimate, (1.) That he fared better than he had expected. He had been in imminent peril, and yet came home in peace.
Commenting on 2 Chronicles 19:1-4
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned,.... From Ramothgilead, after Ahab was slain: to his house in peace in Jerusalem; to his palace there in safety, having narrowly escaped losing his life in the battle.
And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed [himself] up in [his] chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died. (u) He disguised his wound that his soldiers might fight more courageously.
