2 Chronicles 17:1-9

1And JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478, and strengthenedH2388 himselfH2388 againstH5921 IsraelH3478.

2And he placedH5414 forcesH2428 in allH3605 the fenced citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and setH5414 garrisonsH5333 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of EphraimH669, whichH834 AsaH609 his fatherH1 had takenH3920.

3And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, becauseH3588 he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 notH3808 unto the Baalim;

4but soughtH1875 to the GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and notH3808 afterH3588 the doings of IsraelH3478.

5Therefore the LORDH3068 stablished the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027; and allH3605 JudahH3063 broughtH5414 to JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503; and he had richesH6239 and honour in abundanceH7230.

6And his heartH3820 was lifted upH853 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: and furthermoreH5750 he tookH5493 awayH5493 the highH1116 placesH1116 and the AsherimH842 outH853 of JudahH3063.

7Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 his princesH8269, even Ben-hailH1134, and ObadiahH5662, and ZechariahH2148, and NethanelH5417, and MicaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063;

8and with them the LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and Tob-adonijah, the LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, the priestsH3548.

9And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, having the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them; and they wentH5437 aboutH5437 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 among the peopleH5971.
