49<\/strong>. Let my servants go with thy servants<\/em> ] This appears to have been an attempt to engage Jehoshaphat in a second expedition. If there were two expeditions contemplated, one may have been to Ophir, and the other to Tarshish. This would account for what is noticed in the previous verse, that the Chronicler mentions Tarshish as the destination, while here Ophir is spoken of.<\/p>\n 2Ch 20:35-36<\/span>, explains that the two kings conjointly built the fleet with which the Ophir trade (1Ki 9:28<\/span> note) was to be re-opened. Ahaziah had thus an interest in the ships; and when they were wrecked, attributing, as it would seem, the calamity to the unskillfulness of his allys mariners, he proposed that the fleet should be manned in part by Israelite sailors – men probably accustomed to the sea, perhaps trained at Tyre. This proposal Jehoshaphat refused, either offended at the reflection on his subjects skill, or accepting the wreck of the ships, which Eliezer had prophesied, as a proof that God was against the entire undertaking.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 49<\/span>. But Jehoshaphat would not.<\/B><\/I>] It appears from the above cited place in Chronicles that Jehoshaphat did join in making and sending ships to Tharshish, and it is possible that what is here said is spoken of a second<\/I> expedition, in which Jehoshaphat would<\/I> not<\/I> join Ahaziah. But instead of velo abah<\/I>, “he would not,” perhaps we should read velo abah<\/I>, “he consented to him;” two words pronounced exactly in the same way, and differing but in one letter<\/I>, viz., an aleph<\/I> for a vau<\/I>. This reading, however, is not supported by any MS. or version; but the emendation seems just; for there are several places in these historical books in which there are mistakes of transcribers which nothing but violent criticism can restore, and to this it is dangerous to resort, but in cases of the last necessity. Critics have recommended the 48th and 49th verses to be read thus: “Jehoshaphat had built ships of burden at Ezion-geber, to go to Ophir for gold. 49. And Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, had said to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants, I pray thee, go with thy servants in the ships: to which Jehoshaphat consented. But the ships went not thither; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.” This is Houbigant’s<\/I> translation, who contends that “the words of the 48th verse, but they went not<\/I>, should be placed at the end of the 49th verse, for who can believe that the sacred writer should first relate that the ships were broken<\/I>, and then that Ahaziah requested of Jehoshaphat that his servants might embark with the servants of Jehoshaphat?” This bold critic, who understood the Hebrew language better than any man in Europe, has, by happy conjectures, since verified by the testimony of MSS., removed the blots of many careless transcribers from the sacred volume.<\/P> <\/p>\n Object.<\/B> It is said that he did join with Ahaziah herein, 2Ch 20:35<\/span>,36<\/span>. <\/P> Answ.<\/B> That was before this time, and before the ships were broken; for the breaking of the ships, mentioned here, 1Ki 22:48<\/span>, is noted to be the effect of his sin, in joining with Ahaziah, and of the prophecy consequent upon it, 2Ch 20:37<\/span>. And good Jehoshaphat being warned and chastised by God for this sin, would not be persuaded to repeat it; whereby he showed the sincerity of his repentance. <\/P> <\/p>\n Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat<\/strong>,…. Who very probably had built some more ships on his own, having broke off his partnership with Ahaziah:<\/p>\n let my servants go with thy servants in the ships<\/strong>; since he was refused a part in the ships themselves, he desires leave to send men aboard them to traffic for him abroad:<\/p>\n but Jehoshaphat would not<\/strong>; having been reproved by a prophet of the Lord, and had suffered the loss of his ships by joining with him already.<\/p>\n 49<\/strong>. <\/strong> Jehoshaphat would not <\/strong> From 2Ch 20:36-37<\/span>, we learn that Ahaziah did join himself with Jehoshaphat in building ships at Ezion-geber; and for allowing this, Jehoshaphat was reproved by the prophet Eliezer, and the ships were wrecked as a Divine judgment for the offence. Accordingly we naturally infer that Jehoshaphat’s attempt to form for himself a navy, as described in the preceding verse, was subsequent to the one spoken of in 2Ch 20:36<\/span>; and when Ahaziah wished again to join himself with Jehoshaphat in this second attempt, the latter refused. But nevertheless his ship-building proved a failure.<\/p>\n 1Ki 22:49<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>But Jehoshaphat would not<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> In the parallel place, 2Ch 20:36-37<\/span>. Jehoshaphat is blamed by the prophet for having joined himself with Ahaziah in building ships. Commentators endeavour by various methods to solve this difficulty. Houbigant reads it, velo abah, he consented. <\/em>Or, rather we might say, that Jehoshaphat at first consented; but afterwards, being warned by a prophet, he corrected his error, 1Ki 22:49<\/span>. <\/p>\n 1Ki 22:49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.<\/p>\n Ver. 49.

Jehoshaphat would not He had contracted an amity with this king, and engaged himself so far, as to permit him to join with him in this navy, 2Ch 20:35. But, being chastised, and better instructed by his ill success, and the breaking of the ships, and being reproved for his sin in joining with him, by a prophet, he would not be persuaded to repeat it, or to continue this league with him.<\/p>\n Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships.
