1 Kings 22:41-53 — Jehoshaphat and Ahaziah
1Kgs.22.41-53
41Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi. 43He walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the eyes of the LORD. 44However, the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 45Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. 46Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the might that he showed, and how he fought—are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah? 47The remnant of the male cult prostitutes who remained from the days of Asa his father, he burned away from the land. 48There was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king. 49Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go, because the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber. 50Then Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, 'Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.' But Jehoshaphat was unwilling. 51Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father, and Jehoram his son became king in his place. 52Ahaziah son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 53He did evil in the eyes of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
