3
And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,
4
But in the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel.
5
And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory.
6
And when his heart had taken courage for the ways of the Lord, he took away also the high places and the groves out of Juda.
7
And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cites of Juda:
8
And with them the Levites, Semeias, and Nathanias, and Zabadias, and Asael, and Semiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonias, and Tobias, and Thobadonias Levites, and with them Elisama, and Joram priests.
9
And they taught the people in Juda, having with them the book of the law of the Lord: and they went about all the cities of Juda, and instructed the people.
