Barnes's 1-kings 22:3 Bible Commentary
By the terms of Ahab's covenant with Ben-hadad, Ramoth in Gilead ought, long ere this, to have been restored 1 Kings 20:34. Hence, the claim "is ours," i. e., "it belongs to us of right though the Syrians still hold possession of it."
Wesley's 1-kings 22:3 Bible Commentary
22:3 Is ours - Belongeth to us by right. both by God's donation, and by our last agreement with Ben - hadad, chap. 20:34 , which yet herefuseth to deliver up.
