Context of 2 Chronicles 18:28

26Say to them, “The king commands you to put this man in prison. Feed him with only a little bread and water until I return safely from the battle.” ’ 27Micaiah said, ‘If you do return safely, it will show that I have not spoken the Lord's message.’ Then he said to all the people who were there, ‘Remember what I have said to King Ahab!’ So King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah went to attack Ramoth Gilead. 29King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, ‘When we go into the battle, I will wear ordinary clothes. People will not recognize me as the king. But you should wear your royal clothes.’ So the king of Israel went into the battle as if he was an ordinary soldier. 30But the king of Syria had said to his chariot officers, ‘Only fight the king of Israel. Do not fight against anyone else, whoever they are.’

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 28-34Ahab knew he had gone against God's will and would face the consequences. However, he was more concerned about the Aramean army. He believed he could ignore God's judgment, showing his lack of respect for the Lord. This mistake proved fatal.Read the comment
