Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem.
His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
He walked in all the way of Asa his father.
He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes.
However, the high places were not taken away.
The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
