1 Kings 22:44–53

⁴⁴Jehoshaphat was also at peace with the king of Israel.

⁴⁵As for the other events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, the things he achieved and his military exploits, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? ⁴⁶He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes^o who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa. ⁴⁷There was then no king^p in Edom; a provincial governor ruled.

⁴⁸Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships^dq to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail—they were wrecked at Ezion Geber.^{r 49}At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with yours,” but Jehoshaphat refused.

⁵⁰Then Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son succeeded him as king.

Ahaziah King of Israel

⁵¹Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. ⁵²He did evil^s in the eyes of the Lord, because he followed the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. ⁵³He served and worshiped Baal^t and aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father^u had done.
