Now, Jehoshaphat son of Asa, began to reign over Judah, - in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.

Jehoshaphat, was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, - and, the name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.

And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, he turned not aside therefrom, - doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless, the high places, were not taken away, - still were the people offering sacrifices and burning incense in the high places.

And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

Now, the rest of the story 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?

Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.

And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.

Jehoshaphat, made ships of Tarshish, to go to Ophir, for gold; but they went not, - for ships had been broken to pieces in Ezion-geber.

Then, said Ahaziah son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, - but Jehoshaphat did not consent.

So 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.
