2Chronicles:17:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead ,
and strengthened himself against Israel .
*
And 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 .
*
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat ,
because he walked in the first ways of his father David ,
and sought not unto Baalim ;
*
But sought to the LORD God of his father ,
and walked in his commandments ,
and not after the doings of Israel .
*
Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand ;
and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents ;
and he had riches and honour in abundance .
*
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD :
moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah .
*
Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes ,
even to Benhail ,
and to Obadiah ,
and to Zechariah ,
and to Nethaneel ,
and to Michaiah ,
to teach in the cities of Judah .
*
And with them he sent Levites ,
even Shemaiah ,
and Nethaniah ,
and Zebadiah ,
and Asahel ,
and Shemiramoth ,
and Jehonathan ,
and Adonijah ,
and Tobijah ,
and Tobadonijah ,
Levites ;
and with them Elishama and Jehoram ,
priests .
*
And 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 .
