2 Chronicles 20:31-37

31And JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 over JudahH3063: he was thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977. 32And he walked in the wayH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1, and turnedH5493 not asideH5493 from it, doing that which was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah. 33Howbeit the highH1116 placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493; neither as yetH5750 had the peopleH5971 set their heartsH3824 unto the GodH430 of their fathersH1. 34Now the restH3499 of the acts of JehoshaphatH3092, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the history of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607, which is inserted in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

35And after this did JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 joinH2266 himself with AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478; the same did very wickedlyH7561: 36and he joinedH2266 himself with him to makeH6213 shipsH591 to go to TarshishH8659; and they madeH6213 the shipsH591 in Ezion-geberH6100. 37Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of Dodavahu of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 against JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, Because thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, Jehovah hath destroyed thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, so that they were not able to go to TarshishH8659.
