Summary of Jehoshaphat’s Later Reign

2 Chronicles 20:31-37

Y'hoshafat ruled over Y'hudah; he was thirty-five years old when he began his reign, and he ruled twenty-five years in Yerushalayim. His mother's name was 'Azuvah the daughter of Shilchi.

He lived in the manner of Asa his father and did not turn away from it, doing what was right from ADONAI's perspective;

although the high places were not taken away, and the people had not yet set their hearts toward the God of their ancestors.

Other activities of Y'hoshafat, from beginning to end, are written in the records of Yehu the son of Hanani, which have been inserted in the Annals of the Kings of Isra'el.

It was after this that Y'hoshafat joined up with Achazyah king of Isra'el, who was acting very wickedly.

He joined together with him to build large ships capable of going to Tarshish; they made the ships in 'Etzyon-Gever.

Then Eli'ezer the son of Dodavahu from Mareshah prophesied against Y'hoshafat: "Because you joined yourself with Achazyah, ADONAI is wrecking your project."And the ships were wrecked, so that they couldn't go to Tarshish.
