29
The terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel.
30
Then Jehoshaphat's kingdom was quiet, for his God gave him rest on every side.
Summary of Jehoshaphat's Reign
31 Jehoshaphat became king over Judah. He was 35 years old when he became king; he reigned 25 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32
He walked in the way of Asa his father; he did not turn away from it but did what was right in the Lord's sight.
33
However, the high places were not taken away; the people had not yet determined in their hearts [to worship] the God of their ancestors.
34
The rest of the events of Jehoshaphat's [reign] from beginning to end are written about in the Events of Jehu son of Hanani, which is recorded in the Book of Israel's Kings.
Jehoshaphat's Fleet of Ships
35 After this, Judah's King Jehoshaphat made an alliance with Israel's King Ahaziah, who was guilty of wrongdoing.
36
Jehoshaphat formed an alliance with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
37
Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you formed an alliance with Ahaziah, the Lord has broken up what you have made." So the ships were wrecked and were not able to go to Tarshish.
