2. Krønikebok 17,2

1 Hans sønn Josjafat ble konge etter ham, og han styrket sin makt over Israel.

Han satte tropper i alle de befestede byene i Juda, og stasjonerte garnisoner i landet Juda og i byene i Efraim som hans far Asa hadde inntatt.

3 Herren var med Josjafat fordi han fulgte sin stamfar Davids veier i hans tidligere dager og ikke søkte Ba’alene,

4 men søkte sin fars Gud, holdt hans bud og gjorde ikke som Israel gjorde.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
