20:33 However , the high places were not eliminated ; the people were still not devoted to the God of their ancestors .
20:34 The rest of the events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, from start to finish , are recorded in the Annals of Jehu son of Hanani which are included in Scroll of the Kings of Israel .
20:35 Later King Jehoshaphat of Judah made an alliance with King Ahaziah of Israel , who did evil .
