2 Chronicles 17:1-6
2 Chronicles 17:1-6 NCV
Jehoshaphat, Asa’s son, became king of Judah in his place. Jehoshaphat made Judah strong so they could fight against Israel. He put troops in all the strong, walled cities of Judah, in the land of Judah, and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured. The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he lived as his ancestor David had lived when he first became king. Jehoshaphat did not ask for help from the Baal idols, but from the God of his father. He obeyed God’s commands and did not live as the people of Israel lived. The LORD made Jehoshaphat a strong king over Judah. All the people of Judah brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, so he had much wealth and honor. He wanted very much to obey the LORD. He also removed the places for worshiping gods and the Asherah idols from Judah.
