1 Kings 22:48-50

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁸ King Jehoshaphat built some cargo ships. He wanted the ships to sail to Ophir for gold, but they never went there—they were destroyed in their home port at Ezion Geber. ⁴⁹ Then King Ahaziah of Israel offered to put some of his own sailors with Jehoshaphat’s men on the ships,^[a] but Jehoshaphat refused to accept his help.

⁵⁰ Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. Then his son Jehoram became the next king.
