1 Kings 15:23-24

Jehoshaphat Succeeds Asa

23 1Now the rest of all the acts of Asa and all his might and all that he did and the cities which he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles * of the Kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 And Asa slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and 2Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
