In the final chapter, 22, of 1 Kings, Syria and Israel were without war for three years.
The king of Israel met with the king of Judah and laid claim to Ramoth-gilead. Israel asked to do battle there, and Judah asked to inquire as to the Lord's wishes.
They sought out 400 prophets who said to go do battle there.
The king of Judah wished for one other prophet for his wisdom, that of Micaiah. He too said the Lord wished for them to battle at Ramoth-gilead.
But the king of Israel did not want to believe him, for he has said false things to him before.
The king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle. The Syrian soldiers, not noticing the king's disguise, killed him.
