End of Jehoshaphat's Reign and Jehoram's Accession
2 Chronicles 20:31-21:3
31Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah the daughter of Shelhi.32He walked in the way of Asa his father and did not turn aside from it, doing what was upright in the eyes of the LORD.33Yet the high places were not removed, and the people still did not direct their heart toward the God of their fathers.34Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from first to last, are written in the records of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel.35After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; he acted wickedly in doing so.36He allied himself with him to build ships to go to Tarshish, and they built the ships in Ezion-geber.37Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed what you have done." So the ships were wrecked and were not able to go to Tarshish.
Chapter 21
1Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his place.2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.3Their father gave them many gifts of silver, gold, and precious things, together with fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
