[22:41] In the fourth year of the reign of King Ahab of Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah
[22:42] at the age of thirty-five, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
[22:43] Like his father Asa before him, he did what was right in the sight of the Lord; but the places of worship were not destroyed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
[22:44] Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
[22:45] Everything else that Jehoshaphat did, all his bravery and his battles, are recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah.
[22:46] He got rid of all the male and female prostitutes serving at the pagan altars who were still left from the days of his father Asa.
[22:47] The land of Edom had no king; it was ruled by a deputy appointed by the king of Judah.
[22:48] King Jehoshaphat had ocean-going ships built to sail to the land of Ophir for gold; but they were wrecked at Eziongeber and never sailed.
[22:49] Then King Ahaziah of Israel offered to let his men sail with Jehoshaphat's men, but Jehoshaphat refused the offer.
[22:50] Jehoshaphat died and was buried in the royal tombs in David's City, and his son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
