2 Chronicles 20:36 In-Context

34 Other activities of Y'hoshafat, from beginning to end, are written in the records of Yehu the son of Hanani, which have been inserted in the Annals of the Kings of Isra'el.

35 It was after this that Y'hoshafat joined up with Achazyah king of Isra'el, who was acting very wickedly.

36 He joined together with him to build large ships capable of going to Tarshish; they made the ships in 'Etzyon-Gever.

37 Then Eli'ezer the son of Dodavahu from Mareshah prophesied against Y'hoshafat: "Because you joined yourself with Achazyah, ADONAI is wrecking your project."And the ships were wrecked, so that they couldn't go to Tarshish.
