Kings III

39 And the rest of the acts of Achaab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities which he †built, behold, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

40 And Achaab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.

41 And Josaphat the son of Asa reigned over Juda: in the fourth year of Achaab king of Israel ‡began Josaphat to reign.

42 §Thirty and five years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azuba daughter of Salai.

43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father: he turned not from it, even from doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord.

44 Only he took not away any of the high places: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

45 And Josaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.

46 And the rest of the **acts of Josaphat, and his mighty deeds, whatever he did, behold, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

51 And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried by his fathers in the city of David his father, and Joram his son reigned in his stead.

52 And Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria: in the seventeenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria two years.

53 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Achaab his father, and in the way of Jezabel his mother, and in the sins of the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who caused Israel to sin.

54 And he served Baalim, and worshipped them, and provoked the Lord God of Israel, according to all that had been done before him.
