1 Kings 22:44-53

44 aJehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.

45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written bin the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 46And from the land he exterminated the remnant cof the male cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa.

47 dThere was no king in Edom; a deputy was king. 48Jehoshaphat made eships of Tarshish to go to fOphir for gold, but they did not go, for the ships were wrecked at gEzion-geber. 49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships,” but Jehoshaphat was not willing. 50 hAnd 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 place.
