2 Chronicles 17:1-4 ▼

1 His son Jehoshaphat replaced him as king and solidified his rule over Israel.

2 He placed troops in all of Judah's fortified cities and posted garrisons throughout the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had seized.

3 The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed in his ancestor David's footsteps at the beginning of his reign. He did not seek the Baals,

4 but instead sought the God of his ancestors and obeyed his commands, unlike the Israelites.
