Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with your servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.
And 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 place.
And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, seaman that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
And they came to Ophir, and brought from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah.
