Context of 2 Chronicles 20:34

32He walked in the way of his father Asa and did not depart from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. 33Only the high places [for pagan sacrifices] were not removed, for the people had not yet set their hearts firmly on the God of their fathers. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from the first to the last, behold, they are written in the records of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel. 35After [all] this Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, and he acted wickedly in doing so. 36He joined him in building ships to go to Tarshish [for trade], and they built them in Ezion-geber.
