36. As the sun was setting, a shout went throughout the army, saying, “Each man to his town, and each man to his land!”
37. So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38. Then they washed the chariot at the pool of Samaria where the harlots washed and the dogs licked up his blood—just as was the word of Adonai that He had spoken.
39. Now the rest of Ahab’s deeds and all he did, including the ivory palace he built and all the cities he fortified, are they not written in Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40. So Ahab slept with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah became king in his place.
41. Now Jehoshaphat son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42. Jehoshaphat was 35 years old when he became king, and he reigned 25 years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43. He walked in all the ways of his father Asa, not straying from them, but doing what was right in Adonai’s eyes.
44. However, they did not take away the high places, and the people continued to sacrifice and burn incense on the high places.
45. Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
46. Now the rest of the deeds of Jehoshaphat along with his might that he showed and how he warred, are they not written in Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
47. He expelled from the land the cult prostitutes remaining from the days of his father Asa.
48. There was no king in Edom; a deputy was king.
