2 Chronicles 17:4

But sought to the Lord God of his fathers

2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Yehudah, and set garrisons in the land of Yehudah, and in the cities of Efrayim, which Asa his father had taken.

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.
