Judah’s King Jehoshaphat
41 Jehoshaphat(A) son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Israel’s King Ahab. 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king; he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi. 43 He walked in all the ways of his father Asa;(B) he did not turn away from them but did what was right in the Lord’s sight. However, the high places were not taken away;[a] the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.(C) 44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.(D)
45 The rest of the events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are written in the Historical Record of Judah’s Kings.(E) 46 He eradicated from the land the rest of the male cult prostitutes who were left from the days of his father Asa.(F) 47 There was no king in Edom;(G) a deputy served as king. 48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish(H) to go to Ophir(I) for gold, but they did not go because the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber.(J) 49 At that time, Ahaziah(K) son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships,” but Jehoshaphat was not willing. 50 Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of his ancestor David.(L) His son Jehoram(M) became king in his place.

The New Rulers
41 (A)Now Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 43 (B)He walked [a]entirely in the way of his father Asa; he did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord. (C)However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. 44 (D)Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Now as for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he showed and how he made war, are they not written (E)in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 46 And the remnant of (F)the cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa, he eliminated from the land.
47 Now (G)there was no king in Edom; a governor served as king. 48 Jehoshaphat built (H)ships of Tarshish to go to (I)Ophir for gold, but (J)they did not go, because the ships were destroyed at (K)Ezion-geber. 49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing. 50 (L)And Jehoshaphat [b]lay down with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoram became king in his place.
