1 Kings 22:41-50
Jehoshaphat Reigns in Judah

41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

41:

42 Jehoshaphat [was] thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

42:

43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; [for] the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

43:

44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

44:

45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

45:

46 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.

46:

47 [There was] then no king in Edom: a deputy [was] king.

47:

48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.

48:

49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

49:

50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

50:
