2 Chronicles

2 Chronicles 17:3–5

3Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier waysa of his father David. He did not seek the Baals, 4but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel. 5So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.
