39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, athe ivory house which he built and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 So Ahab rested with his fathers. Then aAhaziah his son reigned in his place.
Jehoshaphat Reigns in Judah
41 aJehoshaphat the son of Asa had become king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
43 And ahe walked in all the ways of his father Asa. He did not turn aside from them, doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord. Nevertheless bthe high places were not taken away, for the people offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.
44 Also aJehoshaphat made bpeace with the king of Israel.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the might that he showed, and how he made war, are they not written ain the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46 aAnd the rest of the1 perverted persons, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land.
