Excerpt from Complete Works of Josephus, Vol. 2 of 4: Antiquities of the Jews; The Wars of the Jews Against Apion, Etc When Jehoshaphat the king was come to Jerusalem, from the assistance he had afforded Ahab, the king of Israel, when he fought with Benhadad, king of Syria, the prophet Jehu met him, and accused him for assisting Ahab, a man both impious and wicked; and said to him, That “God was displeased with him for so doing, but that he delivered him from the enemy, notwithstanding he had sinned, because of his own proper disposition, which was good.” Whereupon the king betook himself to thanksgivings and sacrifices to God: after which he presently went over all that country which he ruled round about; and taught the people, as well the laws which God gave them by Moses, as that religious worship that was due to him.
