3 El SE脩OR estuvo con Josafat porque sigui贸 el ejemplo inicial de su padre,[a] pues no busc贸 a los baales

2 Crónicas 17:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 17:3

And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat
Guiding and directing, prospering and succeeding him in all things; he had, no doubt, his gracious presence in spiritual things, as well as his powerful and directing presence in things civil; the Targum is,

``the Word of the Lord was for his help;''

because he walked in the first ways of his father David;
which were his best; some of his last ways not being good, as in the affair of Uriah and Bathsheba, and his numbering of the people; Jehoshaphat followed him in the one, but not in the other: or, "in the ways of David and his father, the first"; the first of them both; for the latter ways of his father Asa were not so good as his first, as the preceding chapter shows; and the Septuagint version leaves out the word "David", and so restrains it to his own father:

and sought not unto Baalim;
as did Ahab king of Israel, who now reigned there; ( 1 Kings 15:24 ) ( 16:32 ) .

2 Crónicas 17:3 In-Context

1 Al rey As谩 lo sucedi贸 en el trono su hijo Josafat, quien se impuso a la fuerza sobre Israel.
2 Coloc贸 tropas en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Jud谩, y guarniciones en el territorio de Jud谩 y en las ciudades de Efra铆n que su padre As谩 hab铆a conquistado.
3 El SE脩OR estuvo con Josafat porque sigui贸 el ejemplo inicial de su padre, pues no busc贸 a los baales
4 sino al Dios de su padre, obedeci贸 los mandamientos de Dios, y no sigui贸 las pr谩cticas de los israelitas.
5 Por eso el SE脩OR afirm贸 el reino en sus manos. Todo Jud谩 le llevaba regalos, y Josafat lleg贸 a tener muchas riquezas y recibi贸 muchos honores.
