³¹And Jehoshaphat reigneth over Judah, a son of thirty and five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Azubah daughter of Shilhi. ³²And he walketh in the way of his father Asa, and hath not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah. ³³Only, the high places have not turned aside, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.
