Living Bible

17 Then his son Jehoshaphat became the king and mobilized for war against Israel. ² He placed garrisons in all of the fortified cities of Judah, in various other places throughout the country, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father had conquered.

³ The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed in the good footsteps of his father’s early years and did not worship idols.
