2 Chronicles 17:3-5

Common English Bible

³ The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the earlier ways of his father^[a] by not seeking Baal. ⁴ Instead, he sought the God of his father, and unlike Israel, he followed God’s commandments. ⁵ The Lord gave him firm control over the kingdom, and all Judah brought Jehoshaphat tribute, so that he had abundant riches and honor.
