The End of Jehoshaphat’s Reign(A)
31 (B)So 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. 32 And he walked in the way of his father (C)Asa, and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. 33 Nevertheless (D)the [a]high places were not taken away, for as yet the people had not (E)directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, (F)which is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 After this (G)Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, (H)who acted very (I)wickedly. 36 And he allied himself with him (J)to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion Geber. 37 But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works.” (K)Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go (L)to Tarshish.
Jehoram Reigns in Judah(M)
21 And (N)Jehoshaphat [b]rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

The End of Jehoshaphat’s Reign(A)
31 So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king of Judah, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi. 32 He followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. 33 The high places,(B) however, were not removed, and the people still had not set their hearts on the God of their ancestors.
34 The other events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in the annals of Jehu(C) son of Hanani, which are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel.
35 Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance(D) with Ahaziah king of Israel, whose ways were wicked.(E) 36 He agreed with him to construct a fleet of trading ships.[a] After these were built at Ezion Geber, 37 Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have made an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” The ships(F) were wrecked and were not able to set sail to trade.[b]
21 Then Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Jehoram(G) his son succeeded him as king.
