2 Chronicles 17:3-9

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

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

5Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor.

6His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord. And furthermore, he took the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.

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

8and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah; and with these Levites, the priests Elishama and Jehoram.

9And they taught in Judah, having the Book of the Law of the Lord with them. They went about through all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
