2 Chronicles 17:1-6 ▼

1 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.

2 He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.

3 Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals,

4 but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.

5 So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.

6 And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
