2 Chronicles 17:2-4

2He placed troops in all 1the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim 2which Asa his father had captured.

3The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he 3followed the example of his father David’s earlier days and did not seek the Baals,

4but sought the God of his father, 4followed His commandments, 5and did not act as Israel did.
