    1AND Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

    2And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

    3And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

    4But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

    5Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

    6And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

    7¶ Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

    8And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.

    9And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the Lord with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
