After this King Jehoshaphat of Judah joined with King Ahaziah of Israel, who did wickedly.
He served Baal and worshiped him; he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor, and he made a marriage alliance with Ahab.
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
