1 Kings 22:47 meaning

As the narrative of King Ahab concludes, we see a significant chapter in Israel's history through the aftermath of his reign. This verse encapsulates the state of Edom, demonstrating the implications of Ahab's decisions on regional politics. Under Jehoshaphat's reign, a deputy was appointed in Edom, indicating a consolidation of power but also foreshadowing the eventual rebellion of Edom against Judah.
