30 to invade Judah. The Lord let Jehoshaphat's kingdom be at peace.
31 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled from Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
32 Jehoshaphat obeyed the Lord, just as his father Asa had done,
33 but he did not destroy the local shrines. So the people still worshipped foreign gods, instead of faithfully serving the God their ancestors had worshipped.
34 Everything else Jehoshaphat did while he was king is written in the records of Jehu son of Hanani that are included in The History of the Kings of Israel.
35 While Jehoshaphat was king, he signed a peace treaty with Ahaziah the wicked king of Israel.
36 They agreed to build several seagoing ships at Ezion-Geber.
