1 Kings 22:44–53

⁴⁴Also ^dJehoshaphat made ^epeace with the king of Israel.

⁴⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the might that he showed, and how he made war, are they not written ^fin the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? ^46gAnd the rest of the ⁵perverted persons, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land. ^47hThere was then no king in Edom, only a deputy of the king.

⁴⁸ⁱJehoshaphat ^jmade ⁶merchant ships to go to ^kOphir for gold; ^lbut they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at ^mEzion Geber. ⁴⁹Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.

⁵⁰And ⁿJehoshaphat ⁷rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

Ahaziah Reigns in Israel

^51oAhaziah the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel. ⁵²He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and ^pwalked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin; ⁵³for ^qhe served Baal and worshiped him, and provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger, ^raccording ⁸to all that his father had done.
