14:020:027 Then they returned, every man of Judah
and Jerusalem, and
Jehoshaphat
in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem
with
joy; for the lord had made them to rejoice over
their
enemies.
14:020:028 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries
and harps and
trumpets
unto the house of the lord.
14:020:029 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms
of those
countries,
when they had heard that the lord fought against
the
enemies of Israel.
14:020:030 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet:
for his God gave him
rest
round about.
14:020:031 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah:
he was thirty and five
years
old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and
five
years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name
was Azubah the
daughter
of Shilhi.
14:020:032 And he walked in the way of Asa his father,
and departed not
from
it, doing that which was right in the sight of the
lord.
14:020:033 Howbeit the high places were not taken
away: for as yet the
people
had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their
fathers.
14:020:034 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat,
first and last,
behold,
they are written in the book of Jehu the son of
Hanani,
who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
14:020:035 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of
Judah join himself with
Ahaziah
king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
14:020:036 And he joined himself with him to make
ships to go to
Tarshish:
and they made the ships in Eziongaber.
14:020:037 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah
prophesied against
Jehoshaphat,
saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with
Ahaziah,
the lord hath broken thy works. And the ships
were
broken,
that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
14:021:001 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers,
and was buried with
his
fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his
son reigned
in
his stead.
14:021:002 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat,
Azariah, and
Jehiel,
and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and
Shephatiah:
all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of
Israel.
14:021:003 And their father gave them great gifts
of silver, and of gold,
and
of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah:
but the
kingdom
gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.
14:021:004 Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom
of his father, he
strengthened
himself, and slew all his brethren with the
sword,
and divers also of the princes of Israel.
