Yehoshafat’s reign over Yehudah

1 Ki 22:41–50

2 Chr 20:31—21:1

41Asa’s son Yehoshafat started his reign over Yehudah when King Ahav had ruled Yisrael for four years. 42Yehoshafat was thirty-five when he became king and he reigned from Yerushalem for twenty-five years. (His mother was Shilhi’s daughter Azuvah.) 43He followed his father Asa in every way in doing what Yahweh wanted—he didn’t veer away from it, except that they didn’t demolish the hilltop temples so the people were still sacrificing and burning incense at those places. 44Yehoshafat did make a peace treaty with Yisrael’s king.

45Everything else about Yehoshafat, including his great achievements and his battle record, is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah, 46and including how he banished the male prostitutes from the land who had remained from the time of his father Asa.

47At that time, there was no king in Edom—a governor appointed by Yehoshafat ruled there.

48Yehoshafat had trading ships made to go to Ophir for gold, but they didn’t go because the ships got wrecked at Etsyon-Gaver. 49Ahav’s son Ahazyah had said to Yehoshafat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Yehoshafat hadn’t accepted the offer.

50Then Yehoshafat died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of his ancestor David, and his son Yehoram replaced him as king.

31Yehoshafat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned over Yehudah from Yerushalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Shilhi’s daughter, Azuvah. 32He had similar priorities to his father Asa, doing what pleased Yahweh, and he didn’t deviate from that. 33However, he never removed the hilltop shrines, and the people were not really serious about obeying the god of their ancestors.

34Everything else that Yehoshafat did from the beginning to the end of his reign was written down by Hanani’s son Yehu in the scroll about Yisrael’s kings.

35Later on, Yehudah’s King Yehoshafat made an alliance with Yisrael’s King Ahazyah (which was a wicked thing to do), 36and they worked together to make ships at Etsyon-Gever to sail to Tarshish. 37Then Dodavahu’s son Eliezer from Mareshah prophesied against Yehoshafat, saying, “When you allied yourself with Ahazyah, Yahweh broke through your works.” In due course, the ships were damaged and unable to sail to Tarshish.

21Then Yehoshafat died and was buried with his ancestors in ‘The City of David’, and his son Yehoram (Jehoram) replaced him as king.
