2 Chronicles 17:3-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father [David]. He did not seek the Baals

⁴ But sought and yearned with all his desire for the Lord, the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not after the ways of Israel.

⁵ Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor.

⁶ His heart was cheered and his courage was high in the ways of the Lord; moreover, he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
