3
Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,
4
but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel.
5
Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6
And his heart took delight in the ways of the Lord; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah.
7
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his leaders, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8
And with them he sent Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah--the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
9
So they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the Lord with them; they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people.
