Explanation preview
Eliezer son of Dodavahu delivers the chapter's final word to King Jehoshaphat of Judah, who has just built a trading fleet at Ezion-geber in partnership with Ahaziah, the wicked king of Israel. The prophet ties the shipwreck directly to that alliance: because Jehoshaphat joined himself to a king who did evil, the LORD destroyed his works.
