Notes

1 Kings 22:43–44

Jehoshaphat is remembered as a king who pleased the Lord. But his record was not perfect. He did not remove all the pagan shrines (see 1 Kings 15:14). He also joined with Ahab (1 Kings 22:4, 29–32; 2 Chronicles 19:1–3) and later with Joram (2 Kings 3:4–27).

1 Kings 22:41–50

This summary gives basic information about Jehoshaphat's 25-year rule as king of Judah. The Chronicler shares more details about Jehoshaphat's strong spiritual character, which led to religious changes and blessings from the Lord (2 Chronicles 17:1–21:1). Including a two-year shared rule with his father, Asa, Jehoshaphat ruled from 872 to 848 BC.
