1. Kongebok 22,50

48 Josjafat bygde Tarsis-skip for å seile til Ofir etter gull, men de seilte aldri, for de ble vraket ved Esjon-Geber.

49 I denne perioden foreslo Akasja, sønn av Akab, til Josjafat: "La mine menn seile med dine," men Josjafat avslo.

Josjafat ble lagt til hvile med sine forfedre og ble begravet med dem i sin far Davids by. Og hans sønn Joram etterfulgte ham som konge.

51 Akasja, sønn av Akab, begynte å regjere over Israel i Samaria i det syttende året av Josjafat, kongen av Juda, og han regjerte over Israel i to år.

52 Han gjorde det som var ondt i Herrens øyne og vandret i sin fars og mors veier og i Jeroboams vei, sønn av Nebat, som fikk Israel til å synde.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
