1 Kings 22:46

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.

47 ^aThere was then no king in Edom, only a deputy of the king.

48 ^aJehoshaphat ^bmade merchant ships to go to ^cOphir for gold; ^dbut they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at ^eEzion Geber.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
