2 Chronicles 17:3

Read in context

2 Chronicles 17:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Asa’s son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place, and he strengthened himself against Israel.

2 He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and put garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.

3 Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek out the Baals,

4 but he sought the God of his father and walked by His commandments rather than the practices of Israel.

5 So the LORD established the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.
