1 Kings 22:41-51

41In the fourthH702 yearH8141 of Ahab’sH256 reignH4428 over IsraelH3478, JehoshaphatH3092 sonH1121 of AsaH609 became kingH4427 ofH5921 JudahH3063. 42JehoshaphatH3092 was thirty-fiveH7970H2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 twenty-fiveH6242H2568 yearsH8141. His mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977.

43And Jehoshaphat walkedH1980 in allH3605 the waysH1870 of his fatherH1 AsaH609; he did notH3808 turn awayH5493 from themH4480, but didH6213 what was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.

The high placesH1116, howeverH389, were notH3808 removedH5493; the peopleH5971 stillH5750 sacrificedH2076 and burned incenseH6999 on the high placesH1116. 44JehoshaphatH3092 also made peaceH7999 withH5973 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.

45As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, along with the mightH1369 he exercisedH6213 and howH834 he waged warH3898, are theyH1992 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 46He banishedH1197 fromH4480 the landH776 theH3499 male shrine prostitutesH6945 whoH834 remainedH7604 from the daysH3117 of his fatherH1 AsaH609. 47And there was noH369 kingH4428 in EdomH123; a deputyH5324 served as kingH4428.

48JehoshaphatH3092 builtH6237 shipsH591 of TarshishH86591 to goH1980 to OphirH211 for goldH2091, but they neverH3808 set sailH1980, becauseH3588 they were wreckedH6100H7665 at Ezion-geberH6100. 49At that timeH227 AhaziahH274 sonH1121 of AhabH256 saidH559 toH413 JehoshaphatH3092, “Let my servantsH5650 sailH1980H591 withH5973 your servantsH5650,” but JehoshaphatH3092 refusedH3808H14.

50And JehoshaphatH3092 restedH7901 withH5973 his fathersH1 and was buriedH6912 withH5973 themH1 in the cityH5892 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732. And his sonH1121 JehoramH3088 reignedH4427 in his placeH8478.

51In the seventeenthH7651H6240 yearH8141 of Jehoshaphat’sH3092 reignH4428 over JudahH3063, AhaziahH274 sonH1121 of AhabH256 became kingH4427 ofH5921 IsraelH3478, and he reignedH4427 in SamariaH8111 two yearsH8141.
