2 Chronicles 20:37

Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

KJV

Prophetavit autem Eliezer filius Dodau de Maresa ad Josaphat, dicens : Quia habuisti fœdus cum Ochozia, percussit Dominus opera tua, contritæque sunt naves, nec potuerunt ire in Tharsis.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν Ἐλειαδὰ ὁ τοῦ Ὠδειὰ ἀπὸ Μαρείσης ἐπὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ λέγων Ὡς ἐφιλίασας τῷ Ὀχοζείᾳ, ἔθραυσεν Κύριος τὸ ἔργον σου, καὶ συνετρίβη τὰ πλοῖά σου. καὶ οὐκ ἐδυνάσθη τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσείς.

LXX

Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath destroyed thy works. And the ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
