1 Kings 22:47-49

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁷ At that time Edom didn’t have a king. An area governor was in charge.

⁴⁸ Jehoshaphat built many ships that he used to carry goods to be traded. The ships were supposed to go to Ophir for gold. But they never had a chance to sail. They were wrecked at Ezion Geber. ⁴⁹ At that time Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, spoke to Jehoshaphat. He said, “Let my men sail with yours.” But Jehoshaphat refused.
