2 Chronicles 17:2-4

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

3Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the former ways of his ancestor David. He did not seek the Baals

4but sought the God of his father and walked by his commands, not according to the practices of Israel.
