2 Chronicles 17:3-9

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.

5So the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. Then all Judah brought him tribute, and he had riches and honor in abundance.

6He took great pride in the Lord’s ways, and he again removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.

7In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials — Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah — to teach in the cities of Judah.

8The Levites with them were Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah; the priests, Elishama and Jehoram, were with these Levites.

9They taught throughout Judah, having the book of the Lord’s instruction with them. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
