2. Krønikebok 20,32

30 Så Josjafats rike hadde fred, for hans Gud ga ham ro på alle kanter.

31 Josjafat begynte sitt styre over Juda i en alder av trettifem år. Han regjerte i Jerusalem i tjuefem år. Hans mor var Asuba, datter av Silhi.

Han vandret i sin far Asas vei og vek ikke fra den, gjorde det som var rett i Herrens øyne.

33 Bare, offerhaugene ble ikke fjernet; folket hadde fortsatt ikke vendt sine hjerter til sine fedres Gud.

34 Nå resten av Josjafats gjerninger, fra de første til de siste, se, de er skrevet i annalene til Jehu, sønn av Hanani, som er nedtegnet i Israels kongers bok.

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.
