And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
He went and asked King Jehoshaphat of Judah if he would join him in fighting against Moab because their king had rebelled. King Jehoshaphat agreed, saying his people were just like Israel's people, and his horses were the same.
