3
The LORD was with Yehoshafat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn't seek the Ba`alim,
4
but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his mitzvot, and not after the doings of Yisra'el.
5
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Yehudah brought to Yehoshafat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6
His heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Yehudah.
7
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-Hayil, and `Ovadyah, and Zekharyah, and Netan'el, and Mikhayahu, to teach in the cities of Yehudah;
8
and with them the Levites, even Shemayah, and Netanyah, and Zevadyah, and `Asa'el, and Shemiramot, and Yehonatan, and Adoniyahu, and Toviyah, and Tov-Adoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Yehoram, the Kohanim.
9
They taught in Yehudah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Yehudah, and taught among the people.
