Jehoshaphat’s Evil Alliance with Ahaziah

³⁵ Sometime later, King Jehoshaphat of Judah entered into a military alliance with King Ahaziah of Israel, acting wickedly by doing so. ³⁶ He also agreed with King Ahaziah^[a] to build ships to sail toward Tarshish, which they built in Ezion-geber. ³⁷ But Dodavahu’s son Eliezer from Mareshah prophesied in opposition to Jehoshaphat, “Because you have entered into an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your efforts.” So the ships were destroyed and were never able to sail for Tarshish.

21 Jehoshaphat died, as had his ancestors, and was buried in the City of David alongside his ancestors. His son Jehoram became king in his place.
