34. But another man drew his bow fully and struck the king of Israel between the armor scales and the breastplate; so he said to his chariot driver, “Turn the chariot and bring me out from the camp, for I am wounded.”
35. The battle intensified on that day, and the king was being propped up in the chariot opposite Aram, but he died in the evening, and the blood of the wound ran out to the floor of the chariot.
36. Then the shout passed through the camp about sunset, saying, “Each man to his city and each to his land!”
37. So the king died, and they brought him to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.
38. They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked his blood (now, the prostitutes washed themselves there) according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
39. The remainder of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory palace and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
40. So Ahab slept with his ancestors, and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
41. Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
42. Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
43. He walked in all of the way of Asa his father, and he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the eyes of Yahweh. Only he did not remove the high places; the people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
44. But, Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45. The remainder of the acts of Jehoshaphat, his powerful deeds he did, and how he fought, are they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?
46. The remainder of the male shrine prostitutes who were left over in the days of Asa his father he exterminated from the land.
47. There was not a king in Edom; a governor served as king.
48. Jehoshaphat built ships of the Tarshish type to go to Ophir for the gold; but he did not go because the ships were destroyed at Ezion-Geber.
49. Then Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships,” but Jehoshaphat was not willing.
