Jehoshaphat - and strengthened himself against Israel - The kingdoms of Israel and Judah were rivals from the beginning; sometimes one, sometimes the other, prevailed. Asa and Baasha were nearly matched; but, after Baasha' s death, Israel was greatly weakened by civil contentions, and Jehoshaphat got the ascendancy. See I Kings 16:16-23.
