36
Then about sunset a shout went through the army, "Every man to his city, and every man to his country!"
37
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; they buried the king in Samaria.
38
They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the Lord that he had spoken.
39
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Israel?
40
So Ahab slept with his ancestors; and his son Ahaziah succeeded him.
41
Jehoshaphat son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of King Ahab of Israel.
42
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
43
He walked in all the way of his father Asa; he did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord; yet the high places were not taken away, and the people still sacrificed and offered incense on the high places.
44
Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his power that he showed, and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?
46
The remnant of the male temple prostitutes who were still in the land in the days of his father Asa, he exterminated.
47
There was no king in Edom; a deputy was king.
48
Jehoshaphat made ships of the Tarshish type to go to Ophir for gold; but they did not go, for the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
49
Then Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your servants in the ships," but Jehoshaphat was not willing.
50
Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of his father David; his son Jehoram succeeded him.
51
Ahaziah son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of King Jehoshaphat of Judah; he reigned two years over Israel.
52
He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
53
He served Baal and worshiped him; he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
