11:022:043 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his
father; he turned not
aside
from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of
the
lord:
nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for
the
people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
11:022:044 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
11:022:045 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat,
and his might that he
shewed,
and how he warred, are they not written in the book
of
the
chronicles of the kings of Judah?
11:022:046 And the remnant of the sodomites, which
remained in the days
of
his father Asa, he took out of the land.
11:022:047 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
11:022:048 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to
go to Ophir for gold:
but
they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
11:022:049 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto
Jehoshaphat, Let my
servants
go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat
would
not.
11:022:050 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers,
and was buried with
his
fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram
his
son
reigned in his stead.
11:022:051 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign
over Israel in Samaria
the
seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and
reigned
two
years over Israel.
11:022:052 And he did evil in the sight of the lord,
and walked in the
way
of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in
the
way
of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
11:022:053 For he served Baal, and worshipped him,
and provoked to anger
the
lord God of Israel, according to all that his
father had
done.
Book 12 2 Kings
12:001:001 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
12:001:002 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice
in his upper chamber
that
was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers,
and
said
unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron
whether
I shall recover of this disease.
12:001:003 But the angel of the lord said to
Elijah the Tishbite, Arise,
go
up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and
say
unto
them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel,
that
ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
12:001:004 Now therefore thus saith the lord,
Thou shalt not come down
from
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely
die.
And
Elijah departed.
12:001:005 And when the messengers turned back unto
him, he said unto
them,
Why are ye now turned back?
