1 Kings 22:41-51
411Now Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 432He walked 3entirely in the way of his father Asa; he did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. 4However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 445Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he showed and how he made war, are they not written 6in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 46And the remnant of 7the cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa, he eliminated from the land.
47Now 8there was no king in Edom; a governor served as king. 48Jehoshaphat built 9ships of Tarshish to go to 10Ophir for gold, but 11they did not go, because the ships were destroyed at 12Ezion-geber. 49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing. 5013And Jehoshaphat 14lay down with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoram became king in his place.
51Ahaziah the son of Ahab 15became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
