After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:
He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.
Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.
He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and did as the family of Ahab did, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
