34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, ^awhich is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

35 After this ^aJehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, ^bwho acted very ^cwickedly.

36 And he allied himself with him ^ato make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.

37 But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works.” ^aThen the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go ^bto Tarshish.
