31And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
32He went in the ways of his father Asa, not turning away, but doing right in the eyes of the Lord.
33The high places, however, were not taken away, and the hearts of the people were still not true to the God of their fathers.
34Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, they are recorded in the words of Jehu, the son of Hanani, which were put in the book of the kings of Israel.
35After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:
36Together they made ships to go to Tarshish, building them in Ezion-geber.
37Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.
