¹⁴ And if you walk^(A) in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”^(B)

⁷ “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements,^(A) then you will govern my house^(B) and have charge^(C) of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.^(D)

⁵ For David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord and had not failed to keep^(A) any of the Lord’s commands all the days of his life—except in the case of Uriah^(B) the Hittite.

² He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord and followed the ways of his father David,^(A) not turning aside to the right or to the left.

³ The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David^(A) before him. He did not consult the Baals ⁴ but sought^(B) the God of his father and followed his commands rather than the practices of Israel.
