king of See also:Judah, in the 9th See also:century B.C. During his See also:period See also:close relations subsisted between See also:Israel and Judah; the two royal houses were connected by See also:marriage (see See also:ATHALIAH; See also:JEHORAM, 2), and undertook See also:joint enterprise in See also:war and See also:commerce. Jehoshaphat aided See also:Ahab in the See also:battle against Benhadad at Ramoth-See also:Gilead in which Ahab was slain (I See also:Kings xxii.; 2 Chron. xviii.; cf. the parallel incident in 2 Kings viii. 25–29), and trading journeys to See also:Ophir were undertaken by his See also:fleet in See also:conjunction no doubt with Ahab as well as with his son See also:Ahaziah (2 Chron. xx. 35 sqq.; 1 Kings xxii. 47 sqq.).

The " valley of Jehoshaphat " (See also:Joel iii. 12) has been identified by tradition (as old as See also:Eusebius) with the valley between See also:Jerusalem and the See also:mount of See also:Olives.
