and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.
020:037 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied
against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined
yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works.
The ships were broken, so that they were not able to
go to Tarshish.
021:001 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned
in his place.
021:002 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel,
and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah;
all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
021:003 Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold,
and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah:
but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
021:004 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father,
and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers
with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel.
021:005 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign;
and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
021:006 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house
of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife:
and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
021:007 However Yahweh would not destroy the house of David, because of

to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
021:008 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah,
and made a king over themselves.
021:009 Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots
with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites
who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
021:010 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day:
then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand,
because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers.
021:011 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah,
and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute,
and led Judah astray.
021:012 There came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying,
Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, Because you
have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father,
nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
021:013 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made
Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute,
like as the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers
of your father's house, who were better than yourself:
021:014 behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people,
and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
