1 Kings 22:42 In-Context

40 So Achab slept with his fathers; and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead.

41 But Josaphat, the son of Asa, began to reign over Juda, in the fourth year of Acbab, king of Israel.

42 He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba, the daughter of Salai.

43 And he walked in all the way of Asa, his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. (22-44) Nevertheless, he took not away the high places for as yet the people offered sacrifice, and burnt incense in the high places.

44 (22-45) And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
