1 Kings 20:24, 1 Kings 20:24, 2 Chronicles 18:30, 2 Chronicles 18:30, Jeremiah 16:6

32And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it [is] the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

Proverbs 13:20, Jonah 2:1, Jonah 2:2, Proverbs 13:20, Jonah 2:1

33And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it [was] not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

34And a [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

2 Chronicles 35:23, 2 Chronicles 35:23, Micah 6:13, Micah 6:13, 1 Samuel 17:49

35And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

1 Kings 22:28, 1 Kings 22:28, 1 Kings 20:42, 1 Kings 20:42

2 Kings 14:12, 2 Kings 14:12, Judges 21:24, 1 Kings 12:16, 1 Samuel 4:10

37So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

38And [one] washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armor; according to the word of the LORD which he spoke.

1 Kings 21:19, 1 Kings 21:19, Matthew 24:35, Matthew 24:35, Isaiah 44:25

39Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Amos 3:15, Amos 3:15, 1 Kings 10:18, 1 Kings 15:31, 1 Kings 16:5

40So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

2 Kings 1:17, 2 Kings 1:2, Deuteronomy 31:16, 1 Kings 22:51, 2 Samuel 7:12

2 Kings 1:17, 2 Kings 8:16, 1 Kings 14:21, 1 Kings 15:10, 1 Kings 15:2

43And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; [for] the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

1 Kings 15:14, 1 Kings 15:14, 2 Kings 12:3, 2 Kings 12:3, Proverbs 4:27

44And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

2 Kings 8:18, 2 Chronicles 19:2, 1 Kings 22:2, 2 Kings 8:18, 2 Chronicles 19:2

45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

1 Kings 14:29, 1 Kings 11:41, 2 Chronicles 20:34, 1 Kings 14:29, 1 Kings 11:41

46And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he removed from the land.

1 Kings 15:12, 1 Kings 14:24, 1 Kings 15:12, 1 Kings 14:24, Deuteronomy 23:17

47[There was] then no king in Edom: a deputy [was] king.

2 Samuel 8:14, 2 Kings 3:9, 2 Samuel 8:14, 2 Kings 3:9, 2 Kings 8:20

48Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

1 Kings 9:26, 1 Kings 10:22, 1 Kings 9:26, 1 Kings 10:22, 1 Kings 9:28

49Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

50And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles 21:1, 2 Chronicles 21:1, 1 Kings 14:31, 1 Kings 2:10, 2 Kings 8:16

51Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.

1 Kings 22:40, 2 Kings 1:17, 1 Kings 15:25, 1 Kings 22:40, 2 Kings 1:17

52And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:

1 Kings 15:26, 1 Kings 15:26, 1 Kings 21:25, 1 Kings 21:25, 1 Kings 16:30

53For he served Baal, and worshiped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.

1 Kings 16:30, 1 Kings 16:32, 1 Kings 16:30, 1 Kings 16:32, Ezekiel 8:3
