2 Chronicles 20:31-37

31So JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063. He was thirty-fiveH7970H2568 years oldH1121H8141 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 twenty-fiveH6242H2568 yearsH8141. His mother’sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977.

32And Jehoshaphat walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of his fatherH1 AsaH609 and did notH3808 turn awayH5493 from itH4480; he didH6213 what was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.

33The high placesH1116, howeverH389, were notH3808 removedH5493; the peopleH5971 had notH3808 yetH5750 setH3559 their heartsH3824 on the GodH430 of their fathersH1.

34As for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, from beginningH7223 to endH314, they are indeedH2005 writtenH3789 in the ChroniclesH1697 of JehuH3058 sonH1121 of HananiH2607, whichH834 are recordedH5927 inH5921 the BookH5612 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478.

35LaterH310, JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 made an allianceH2266 withH5973 AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, whoH1931 actedH6213 wickedlyH7561.1 36They agreedH2266H5973 to makeH6213 shipsH591 to goH1980 to TarshishH8659,2 and these were builtH6213H591 in Ezion-geberH6100.

37Then EliezerH461 sonH1121 of DodavahuH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, “Because you have allied yourselfH2266 withH5973 AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 has destroyedH6555 your worksH4639.”

So the shipsH591 were wreckedH7665 and were unableH3808H6113 to sailH1980 toH413 TarshishH8659.3
