1 Kings 22:44–53

^44aJehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.

⁴⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he showed and how he warred, are they not written ^ain the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

⁴⁶And the remnant of ^athe male cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa, he purged from the land.

⁴⁷Now ^athere was no king in Edom; a deputy was king.

⁴⁸Jehoshaphat made ^aships of Tarshish to go to ^bOphir for gold, but ^cthey did not go for the ships were broken 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.

^50aAnd Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and Jehoram his son became king in his place.

⁵²And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and ^awalked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

^53aSo he served Baal and worshiped him and provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger, according to all that his father had done.
