1 Kings 22:47-49

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁷ In those days Edom did not have a king; it was ruled by a governor who was chosen by the king of Judah.

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.
