Revised Version 1885

2 Chronicles 20:28-37 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

28. And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord.

29. And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.

30. So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

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. And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord.

33. Howbeit the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts unto the God of their fathers.

34. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.

35. And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly:

36. and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

37. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath destroyed thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
