40. So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
41. Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42. Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43. He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the Lord’s eyes. However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
44. Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he fought, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46. The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
