1 Kings 22:48-50
New English Translation

48 Jehoshaphat built a fleet of large merchant ships[a] to travel to Ophir for gold, but they never made the voyage because they were shipwrecked in Ezion Geber. 49 Then Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my sailors join yours in the fleet,”[b] but Jehoshaphat refused.

50 Jehoshaphat passed away[c] and was buried with his ancestors in the city of his ancestor[d] David. His son Jehoram replaced him as king.
