📚 Historical Context

This follows the military conflicts described in earlier chapters of 1 Kings, where Syria (Aram) and Israel had been engaged in warfare. King Ahab of Israel had previously fought against Ben-hadad of Syria, and this verse marks a temporary ceasefire or peace treaty between the two kingdoms. This peaceful interlude occurred during the reign of Ahab, likely in the later years of his rule around 850 BC.
