And Omri{gr.Ambri} slept with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria; and Ahab{gr.Achaab} his son reigns in his stead. And in the eleventh year of Omri{gr.Ambri} Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} the son of Asa reigns, [being] thirty-five years old in the beginning of his reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Gazuba, daughter of Seli. And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not from it, [even] from doing right in the eyes of the Lord: only they removed not [any] of the high places; they sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. Now the engagements which Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} made with the king of Israel, and all his mighty deeds which he performed, and the enemies whom he fought against, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah{gr.Juda}? and the remains of the prostitution which they practiced in the days of Asa his father, he removed out of the land: and there was no king in Syria, [but] a deputy. Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat}, I will send forth thy servants and my servants in the ship: but Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} would not. And Jehoshaphat{gr.Josaphat} slept with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead. |
