3
And Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of David his father and did not seek after the Baals,
4
but he sought after the God of his ancestors and walked in his commandments and not according to the works of Israel.
5
So Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah gave tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had much wealth and honor.
6
And his heart was courageous in the ways of Yahweh. Moreover, he removed the high places and the Asherahs from Judah.
7
In the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
8
and with them the Levites Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah; and with them the priests Elisham and Joram.
9
And they taught in Judah, and the scroll of the law of Yahweh [was] with them when they went around in all the cities of Judah, and they taught the people.
