2 Chronicles 17:3-9
3And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he 1followed the example of his father David’s earlier days and did not seek the Baals, 4but sought the God of his father, 2followed His commandments, 3and did not act as Israel did. 5So the Lord established the kingdom in his 4control, and all Judah gave tribute to Jehoshaphat, and 5he had great riches and honor. 66He took great pride in the ways of the Lord, and again 7removed the high places and the 8Asherim from Judah.
7Then in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, 9to teach in the cities of Judah; 8and with them 10the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them the priests Elishama and Jehoram. 9They taught in Judah, having 11the Book of the Law of the Lord with them; and they went throughout the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
