2 iziKronike 17:1-6

UJehoshafati indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe, waziqinisa ukulwa no-Israyeli. Wabeka amabutho emizini yonke ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda, wabeka amakhanda ezweni lakwaJuda, nasemizini yakwa-Efrayimi u-Asa uyise ayithathileyo. UJehova wayenaye uJehoshafati, ngokuba wahamba ngezindlela zokuqala zikayise uDavide, akafunanga oBali, kepha wafuna uNkulunkulu kayise, wahamba ngemiyalo yakhe, kungengakwenza kuka-Israyeli. Ngalokho uJehova wawuqinisa umbuso esandleni sakhe; wonke uJuda wathela intela kuJehoshafati, wayenengcebo nodumo olukhulu. Inhliziyo yakhe yaphakanyiswa ezindleleni zikaJehova; futhi wasusa izindawo eziphakemeyo nawo-Ashera* kwaJuda.
