1 Kings 22:42

AzubahJehoshaphatShilhiJerusalem

40 And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.

41 In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.

Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

43 And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
