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. ³⁴And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, lo, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who hath been mentioned on the book of the kings of Israel. ³⁵And after this hath Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, (he did wickedly in so doing), ³⁶and he joineth him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber, ³⁷and prophesy doth Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, ‘For thy joining thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath broken up thy works;’ and the ships are broken, and have not retained power to go unto Tarshish.
