Settings

1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.
2 He put forces in all the walled towns of Judah, and responsible chiefs in the land of Judah and in the towns of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,
4 But turning to the God of his father and keeping his laws, and not doing as Israel did.
5 So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.
6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord; and he went so far as to take away the high places and the wood pillars out of Judah.
