2 Chronicles 20:31-37 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

31. Thus Yehoshaphat reigned over Yehuḏah – thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Azuḇah the daughter of Shilḥi.

32. And he walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the eyes of יהוה.

33. Only, the high places were not taken away, for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts for the Elohim of their fathers.

34. And the rest of the acts of Yehoshaphat, the first and the last, see, they are written in the book of Yĕhu son of Ḥanani, which is mentioned in the book of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl.

35. And after this Yehoshaphat sovereign of Yehuḏah joined himself with Aḥazyah sovereign of Yisra’ĕl. He did wrong in doing so.

36. And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Etsyon Geḇer.

37. Then Eli‛ezer son of Doḏawahu of Marĕshah prophesied against Yehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Aḥazyahu, יהוה shall break up your work.” And the ships were wrecked, so that they were unable to go to Tarshish.
