2 Chronicles 17:1-6
1599 Geneva Bible
17 5 Jehoshaphat trusting in the Lord, prospereth in riches and honor. 6 He abolisheth idolatry, 7 and causeth the people to be taught. 11 He receiveth tribute of strangers. 13 His munitions, and men of war.
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and prevailed against Israel.
2 And he put garrisons in all the strong cities of Judah, and set bands in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the [a]first ways of his father David, and sought not [b]Baalim,
4 But sought the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandment, and not after the [c]trade of Israel.
5 Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought presents to Jehoshaphat, so that he had of riches and honor in abundance.
6 And he [d]lifted up his heart unto the ways of the Lord, and he took away moreover the high places and the groves out of Judah.
