2 Tawarikh 18:3-4

18:3 King Ahab of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to attack Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I will support you; my army is at your disposal and will support you in battle.” ¹  18:4 Then Jehoshaphat added, ²  “First seek an oracle from the Lord.” ³ 

[18:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Like me, like you; and like your people, my people; and with you in battle.”

[18:4]  ² tn Heb “and Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel.”

[18:4]  ³ tn Heb “the word of the Lord.” Jehoshaphat is requesting a prophetic oracle revealing the Lord’s will in the matter and their prospects for success. For examples of such oracles, see 2 Sam 5:19, 23-24.
