*
And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah :
he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign ;
and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem ;
and his mother '
s name was Azubah ,
daughter of Shilhi .
*
And he walked in the way of Asa his father ,
and turned not aside from it ,
doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah .
*
Only ,
the high places were not removed ;
and as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers .
*
And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat ,
first and last ,
behold ,
they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani ,
which are inserted in the book of the kings of Israel .
*
And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel ,
who did very wickedly .
*
And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish ;
and they made the ships in Ezion-geber .
*
And Eliezer the son of Dodavah ,
of Mareshah ,
prophesied against Jehoshaphat ,
saying ,
Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah ,
Jehovah has broken thy works .
And the ships were broken ,
and could not go to Tarshish .
