And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. ] And as Ahab reigned twenty two years, ( 1 Kings 16:29 ) , Jehoshaphat must reign about eighteen years with him, and seven years after him.
39
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40
So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
41
And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42
Jehoshaphat 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.
43
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father. He turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD. Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for the people offered and burned incense yet in the high places.
