2 Chronicles 17:4

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,

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.

6 And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; furthermore, he removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.
