35 Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance(A) with Ahaziah king of Israel, whose ways were wicked.(B) 36 He agreed with him to construct a fleet of trading ships.[a] After these were built at Ezion Geber, 37 Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have made an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” The ships(C) were wrecked and were not able to set sail to trade.[b]
21 Then Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Jehoram(D) his son succeeded him as king.

35 Sometime later, Judah’s King Jehoshaphat formed an alliance with Israel’s King Ahaziah, which caused him to sin. 36 They agreed to build a fleet of Tarshish-styled ships, and they built them in Ezion-geber. 37 Eliezer, Dodavahu’s son from Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat: “Because you have formed an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” The ships were wrecked and couldn’t sail to Tarshish.
21 Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his ancestors in David’s City. His son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
