Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah
in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Jehoshaphat 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.
In everything
he walked in the ways of his father Asa
and did not stray from them;
he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.
The high places, however, were not removed,
and the people continued
to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
Jehoshaphat was also at peace
with the king of Israel.
(1 Kings 22:41-44)
