: : : : Does anyone know where the phrase jumping jehosephat came
from?
: : : Since nobody has so far, on this forum, been able to give
a satisfactory answer to your question I propose in the words of
Churchill (1874 - 1965) to classify it as '.a riddle wrapped in
a mystery inside an enigma'.
: : Except, of course, that Jehosephat was a king in the Bible.
: The real riddle remains: why was he jumping and what provoked
him so to do?
I have read over the stories in the bible that discuss Jehosephat
and none of them refer to him jumping. Maybe it is a riddle wrapped
in a mystery
inside an enigma. ksc
