## 2 Chronicles 20:31-34 in Context (Verses 28–37 KJV)
 
 [28 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/28) And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/29) And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of *those* countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/30) So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/31) ¶ And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: *he was* thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name *was* Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/32) And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing *that which was* right in the sight of the LORD.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/33) Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/34) Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they *are* written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who *is* mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.**
 
 [35 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/35) ¶ And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
 
 [36 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/36) And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/37) Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
