2 Chronicles 20:31-37

311Now Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 32He walked in the way of his father Asa and did not depart from it, doing right in the sight of the Lord. 332The high places, however, were not removed; 3the people had not yet directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

34Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first 4to last, behold, they are written in the annals of 5Jehu the son of Hanani, which is 6recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

357After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. He acted wickedly 8in so doing. 36So he allied himself with him to make ships to go 9to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion-geber. 37Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works.” So the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish.
