His Good Reign

And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he [a]followed the example of his father David’s earlier days and did not seek the Baals, but sought the God of his father, [b]followed His commandments, (A)and did not act as Israel did. So the Lord established the kingdom in his [c]control, and all Judah gave tribute to Jehoshaphat, and (B)he had great riches and honor. [d]He took great pride in the ways of the Lord, and again (C)removed the high places and the [e]Asherim from Judah.
