1 Kings 22:48-53
New King James Version
48 (A)Jehoshaphat (B)made [a]merchant ships to go to (C)Ophir for gold; (D)but they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at (E)Ezion Geber. 49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
50 And (F)Jehoshaphat [b]rested 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
51 (G)Ahaziah 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. 52 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and (H)walked 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; 53 for (I)he served Baal and worshiped him, and provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger, (J)according[c] to all that his father had done.

1 Kings 22:48-53
New International Version
48 Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships[a](A) to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail—they were wrecked at Ezion Geber.(B) 49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with yours,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Then 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
51 Ahaziah 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. 52 He did evil(C) 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. 53 He served and worshiped Baal(D) and aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father(E) had done.
