joyned himself] Jehoshaphat first, it seemes, refusing to have Ahaziah to joyne with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, 1 Kings XXII. 49. doth at last yeeld, and is reproved by Eliezer, and the ships are broken. Not that he joyned first; and refused after, upon the Prophets reproof; for then the ships might well have been unbroken. But however; Here the good King falls once and again into the same fault of joyning himself with wicked Ahaziah; as formerly he had done with wicked Ahab; chap. XVIII. 1, 2, 3. and chap. XIX. 2. As we see the like in Abraham, Gen. XII. 13. with chap. XX. 2.
