3
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David and sought not unto the Baalim,
4
but sought the LORD God of his father and walked in His commandments, and not according to the doings of Israel.
5
Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought Jehoshaphat presents, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD; moreover he took away the high places and Asherah poles out of Judah.
7
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Benhail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethaneel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8
And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.
9
And they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people.
