Context of 2 Chronicles 20:34

32Jehoshaphat carefully followed the example his father Asa had set and did what the Lord considered right. 33But the illegal worship sites on the hills were not torn down. The people still didn’t have their hearts set on the God of their ancestors. Everything else about Jehoshaphat from first to last is written in the records of Jehu, son of Hanani, which is included in the Book of the Kings of Israel. 35After this, King Jehoshaphat of Judah allied himself with King Ahaziah of Israel, who led him to do evil. 36Jehoshaphat joined him in making ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.
