And after this did Jehosh´aphat king of Judah join himself with Ahazi´ah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
for he served Ba´al, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
Now Jehosh´aphat had riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord.
