Melachim I Perek 22 – The Siyum Perek. You did it!

As we finish another Sefer of Nach, it is certainly fitting to raise your level of simcha! I would like to thank all the NachDaily subscribers for spreading NachDaily and making NachDaily possible. We have been learning about the splitting of the kingship between Yehudah and Yisrael. We should merit to find the good in every Jew and spread “brotherly love” with the ultimate uniting of Am Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael with the restoration of the true kingship of King Mashiach in our days.

• There was peace between the two kingdoms of Yisrael and Yehudah.

• Achav, king of Yisrael, wanted Yehoshaphat, king of Yehudah, to join him in battle against Aram, and reclaim the city of Ramot Gilad.

• Yehoshaphat wanted Achav to ask a prophet if this was a good idea.

• Many prophets were asked and they unanimously agreed that Bnai Yisroel would win the war.

• Yehoshaphat immediately understood that they were false prophets. (Radak- Each prophet has his own unique style of prophecy, and here all of the prophets used identical words.)

• The true prophet, Michayhu ben Yimlah, was consulted.

• Michayhu prophesied that the war would be lost, with one of the kings dying.

• Tzidkiyah, a false prophet, challenged Michayhu ben Yimlah and slapped Michayhu in the face.

• Achav had Michayhu ben Yimlah imprisoned.

• Prior to the war Achav removed his royal clothing and Yehoshaphat kept his on.

• The king of Aram gave his men strict orders to kill only the king.

• A soldier from Aram innocently hit Achav with an arrow. (The soldier was unaware that he had hit the king of Yisrael because Achav was wearing regular armor.)

• Achav died, his blood covering the chariot that he rode.

• Achazyahu, the son of Achav, ruled Yehudah next.

• Achazyahu followed in his father’s evils ways and upset Hashem with idol worship.

• Yehoshaphat, king of Yehudah, died. Yehoram, his son, ruled after him.
