⁴⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written ^yin the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? ⁴⁶And from the land he exterminated the remnant ^zof the male cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa.

⁴⁷^aThere was no king in Edom; a deputy was king. ⁴⁸Jehoshaphat made ^bships of Tarshish to go to ^cOphir for gold, but they did not go, for the ships were wrecked at ^dEzion-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. ⁵⁰^eAnd Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

Ahaziah Reigns in Israel

⁵¹Ahaziah the son of Ahab ^fbegan to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel. ⁵²He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord ^gand walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. ⁵³^hHe served Baal and worshiped him and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger ⁱin every way that his father had done.
