Context of 1 Kings 22:41

39The other things that happened while Ahab was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Israel's kings’. It tells about all the great things that he did. It also tells about the beautiful palace and the cities that he built. 40Ahab died and they buried him beside his ancestors. His son Ahaziah became king after him. In the fourth year that Ahab ruled Israel as king, Asa's son Jehoshaphat became the king of Judah. 42Jehoshaphat was 35 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 25 years. His mother's name was Azubah. She was the daughter of Shilhi. 43Jehoshaphat lived in the good way that his father Asa had lived. He only did things that the Lord says are right. But he did not remove all the altars that were on the hills. People continued to offer sacrifices on those altars and they continued to burn incense there.
