* Jehosh 'aphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel . * Jehosh 'aphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign , and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem . His mother 's name was Azu 'bah the daughter of Shilhi . * He walked in all the way of Asa his father ; he did not turn aside from it , doing what was right in the sight of the LORD ; yet the high places were not taken away , and the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places . * Jehosh 'aphat also made peace with the king of Israel . * Now the rest of the acts of Jehosh 'aphat , and his might that he showed , and how he warred , are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah ? * And the remnant of the male cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa , he exterminated from the land . * There was no king in Edom ; a deputy was king . * Jehosh 'aphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold ; but they did not go , for the ships were wrecked at E 'zion-ge 'ber . * Then Ahazi 'ah the son of Ahab said to Jehosh 'aphat , "Let my servants go with your servants in the ships ," but Jehosh 'aphat was not willing . * And Jehosh 'aphat slept with his fathers , and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father ; and Jeho 'ram his son reigned in his stead .
