29 And there is a fear of God on all kingdoms of the lands in their hearing that YHWH has fought with the enemies of Israel,

30 and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God gives rest to him all around.

31 And Jehoshaphat reigns over Judah, a son of thirty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

32 And he walks in the way of his father Asa, and has not turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of YHWH.

33 Only, the high places have not been removed, and still the people have not prepared their heart for the God of their fathers.

34 And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of Hanani, who has been mentioned on the scroll of the kings of Israel.

35 And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah has joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel (he did wickedly in doing [this]),

36 and he joins him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber,

37 and Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesies against Jehoshaphat, saying, “For your joining yourself with Ahaziah, YHWH has broken up your works”; and the ships are broken, and have not retained [power] to go to Tarshish.
