1 Kings 22:45-49
New King James Version
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the might that he showed, and how he made war, are they not written (A)in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 46 (B)And the rest of the [a]perverted persons, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land. 47 (C)There was then no king in Edom, only a deputy of the king.
48 (D)Jehoshaphat (E)made [b]merchant ships to go to (F)Ophir for gold; (G)but they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at (H)Ezion Geber. 49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
