*
And did Jehoshaphat reign over Judah ;
thirty and five years old was he when he became king ,
and twenty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem .
And his mother
s name was
Azubah the daughter of Shilchi .
*
And he walked in the way of his father Assa ,
and turned not aside from it ,
doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord .
*
Nevertheless the high
places were not removed ;
for the people had not yet directed their heart firmly unto the God of their fathers .
*
And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat ,
the first and the last ,
behold ,
they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Chanani ,
which was entered into the book of the kings of Israel .
*
And after this did Jehoshaphat the king of Judah connect himself with Achazyah the king of Israel ,
the same who acted very wickedly ;
*
And he connected himself with him to make ships to go to Tharshish :
and they made ships in
Ezyon
geber .
*
Then prophesied Eli
ezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah against Jehoshaphat ,
saying ,
Because thou hast connected thyself with Achazyahu ,
the Lord hath broken down thy works .
And the ships were wrecked ,
so that they were not able to go to Tharshish .
