2 Chronicles 17:6-11
61He took great pride in the ways of the Lord, and again 2removed the high places and the 3Asherim from Judah.
7Then in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, 4to teach in the cities of Judah; 8and with them 5the 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 6the Book of the Law of the Lord with them; and they went throughout the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10Now 7the dread of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat. 11Some of the Philistines 8brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat; the Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats.
