42 Je·hoshʹa·phat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and for twenty-five years he reigned in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was A·zuʹbah the daughter of Shilʹhi.

4 For it was for the God of his father that he searched+ and in his commandment he walked,+ and not according to the doing of Israel.+

18 And Je·hoshʹa·phat came to have riches and glory in abundance;+ but he formed a marriage alliance+ with Aʹhab.+

4 And Je·hoshʹa·phat continued dwelling in Jerusalem; and he began to go out again among the people from Beʹer-sheʹba+ to the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im,+ that he might bring them back to Jehovah the God of their forefathers.+

25 So Je·hoshʹa·phat and his people came to plunder the spoil+ on them, and they got to find among them in abundance both goods and clothing* and desirable articles; and they went stripping them off for themselves until they could carry no more.+ And it came to be three days that they were plundering the spoil, for it was abundant.
