2 Chronicles 20:35-37

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁵ While Jehoshaphat was king, he became a friend of King Ahaziah of Israel, who did evil things. ³⁶ They agreed to build big ships that would bring things from countries that were far away. They built the ships in Ezion-Geber. ³⁷ Dodavahu's son Eliezer from Mareshah warned Jehoshaphat with a message from the Lord. He said, ‘You should not have become a friend of Ahaziah. Because of that, the Lord will destroy the things that you have made.’

A storm destroyed the ships and they never went anywhere.
