Context of 2 Chronicles 20:34
32Jehoshaphat lived in the good way that his father Asa had lived. He only did things that the Lord says are right. 33But he did not remove all the altars that were on the hills. The people still did not want to be completely faithful to the God of their ancestors. The other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was king are written in a book. Hanani's son Jehu recorded all of them in his book, which is part of ‘The history of Israel's kings’. 35While Jehoshaphat was king, he became a friend of King Ahaziah of Israel, who did evil things. 36They agreed to build big ships that would bring things from countries that were far away. They built the ships in Ezion-Geber.
