1 Kings

1 Kings 22:41–46

⁴¹In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah. ⁴²Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

⁴³And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.

The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places. ⁴⁴Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.

⁴⁵As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? ⁴⁶He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
