2 Chronicles 20:35-21:1
New English Translation
35 Later King Jehoshaphat of Judah made an alliance with King Ahaziah of Israel, who[a] did evil. 36 They agreed[b] to make large seagoing merchant ships;[c] they built the ships in Ezion Geber. 37 Eliezer son of Dodavahu from Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, “Because[d] you made an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord will shatter what you have made.” The ships were wrecked and unable to go to sea.[e]
21 Jehoshaphat passed away[f] and was buried with his ancestors[g] in the City of David.[h] His son Jehoram[i] replaced him as king.

Jehoshaphat’s Fleet of Ships
35 After this,(A) Judah’s King Jehoshaphat made an alliance with Israel’s King Ahaziah, who was guilty of wrongdoing. 36 Jehoshaphat formed an alliance with him to make ships to go to Tarshish,(B) and they made the ships in Ezion-geber. 37 Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you formed an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord has broken up what you have made.” So the ships were wrecked and were not able to go to Tarshish.
Jehoram Becomes King over Judah
21 Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His son Jehoram[a] became king in his place.(C)
