2 Chronicles 20:35-37

Expanded Bible

³⁵ Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made a ·treaty [alliance] with Ahaziah king of Israel, which was a ·wrong [wicked; evil] thing to do. ³⁶ Jehoshaphat agreed with Ahaziah to build ·trading ships [^Lships to go to Tarshish; ^Cin present-day Spain, hence a large, seagoing trading ship], which they built in the town of Ezion Geber. ³⁷ Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu from the town of Mareshah ·spoke [prophesied] against Jehoshaphat. He said, “Jehoshaphat, because you ·joined [allied] with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” The ships were wrecked so they could not sail out to trade.
