2 Chronicles 20:31–37

The End of Jehoshaphat’s Reign

^31kSo Jehoshaphat was king over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. ³²And he walked in the way of his father ^lAsa, and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. ³³Nevertheless ^mthe ⁸high places were not taken away, for as yet the people had not ⁿdirected their hearts to the God of their fathers.

³⁴Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, ^owhich is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

³⁵After this ^pJehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, ^qwho acted very ^rwickedly. ³⁶And he allied himself with him ^sto make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion Geber. ³⁷But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works.” ^tThen the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go ^uto Tarshish.
