spake. 39 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahab
and all that he did, and the yuorie house which
he built, and all the cities that he built, are they
not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel? 40 So Ahab slept with his fathers,
andAhaziahhissonnereignedinhisstead. 41 And
Iehoshaphat the sonne of Asa began to reigne
vpon Iudah in the fourth yeere of Ahab King of
Israel. 42 Iehoshaphat was fiue and thirty yere
olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned fiue
and twentie yeere in Ierusalem. And his mothers
name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 43 And
he walked in all the wayes of Asa his father, and
declined not therefrom, but did that which was
right in the eyes of the Lord. Neuerthelesse the
hie places were not taken away: for the people
offred still and burnt incense in the hie places.
44 And Iehoshaphat made peace with the King
of Israel. 45 Concerning the rest of the actes
of Iehoshaphat, and his worthy deedes that he
did, and his battels which he fought, are they
not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Iudah? 46 And the Sodomites, which
remayned in the dayes of his father Asa, he put
cleane out of the land. 47 There was then no King
in Edom: the deputie was King. 48 Iehoshaphat
made shippes of Tharshish to sayle to Ophir for
golde, but they went not, for the shippes were
broken at Ezion Gaber. 49 Then sayde Ahaziah
the sonne of Ahab vnto Iehoshaphat, Let my
seruants goe with thy seruants in the ships, But
Iehoshaphat would not. 50 And Iehoshaphat did
sleepe with his fathers, and was buried with his
fathers in the citie of Dauid his father, and Ieho-
ram his sonne reigned in his stead. 51 Ahaziah
the sonne of Ahab began to reigne ouer Israel in
Samaria, the seuenteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat
King of Iudah, and reigned two yeeres ouer Israel.
52 But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, and
walked in the way of his father, and in the way of
his mother, and in the way of Ieroboam the sonne
of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne. 53 For he
serued Baal and worshipped him, and prouoked
the Lord God of Israel vnto wrath, according vnto
all that his father had done.
