About Shilhi
Shilhi is mentioned in 1Ki.22.42 and 2Ch.20.31 as the father of Azubah, who was the mother of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king of Judah at the age of thirty-five and reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The mention of Shilhi in these passages serves to provide genealogical information about Jehoshaphat's maternal lineage, highlighting the importance of family connections in the royal line of Judah.
