כי נשברו אניות. לפי שנתחבר עם אחזיהו בזאת, לכך נשברו. וכן אמר לו הנביא בדברי הימים (ב כ לז): בהתחברך עם אחזיהו פרץ ה' את מעשיך:
For they [the ships] were broken. Since he joined Achazyahu in this [undertaking], therefore, they were broken. And so did the prophet say to him in Divrei Hayomim, “Because you have allied yourself with a Achazyahu, Adonoy has wrecked your undertakings.”23II Divrei Hayomim 20:37.
אָז אָמַר אֲחַזְיָהוּ בֶן־אַחְאָב אֶל־יְהוֹשָׁפָט יֵלְכוּ עֲבָדַי עִם־עֲבָדֶיךָ בׇּאֳנִיּוֹת וְלֹא אָבָה יְהוֹשָׁפָֽט׃

וישלם יהושפט עם מלך ישראל. לפי שמלחמה היתה בין אסא אביו ובין בעשא מלך ישראל, הוזקק לומר כן:
