After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly.
He served Baal and worshiped him, and provoked YHWH, the God of Israel, to anger in all the ways that his father had done so.
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in YHWH’s sight.
