2 Chronicles 17:4

4 sed in Deo patris sui et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israhel

2 Chronicles 17:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 17:4

But sought to the Lord God of his fathers
Prayed to him, worshipped and served him:

and walked in his commandments;
observed and kept them, moral, ceremonial, and judicial:

and not after the doings of Israel:
who worshipped the golden calves at Dan and Bethel.

2 Chronicles 17:4 In-Context

2 constituitque militum numeros in cunctis urbibus Iudae quae erant vallatae muris praesidiaque disposuit in terra Iuda et in civitatibus Ephraim quas ceperat Asa pater eius

3 et fuit Dominus cum Iosaphat quia ambulavit in viis David patris sui primis et non speravit in Baalim

4 sed in Deo patris sui et perrexit in praeceptis illius et non iuxta peccata Israhel

5 confirmavitque Dominus regnum in manu eius et dedit omnis Iuda munera Iosaphat factaeque sunt ei infinitae divitiae et multa gloria

6 cumque sumpsisset cor eius audaciam propter vias Domini etiam excelsa et lucos de Iuda abstulit
