And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. ^43 (B)He walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the Lord. ^(C)However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places. ^44 (D)Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
