39. But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40. And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
41. Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
42. He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43. And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord.
44. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
45. And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
46. But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
47. Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
48. At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
49. Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
50. Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your servants on the ships." But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
51. And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
