35. After this, King Jehoshaphat of Judah allied himself with King Ahaziah of Israel, who led him to do evil.
36. Jehoshaphat joined him in making ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.
37. Then Eliezer, son of Dodavahu from Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat. He said, “The Lord will destroy your work because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah.” So the ships were wrecked and couldn’t go to Tarshish.
