2. Krønikebok 17,3

DavidJehoshaphat

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

2 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.

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.

5 Således grunnfestet Herren kongedømmet under hans styre, og hele Juda brakte gaver til Josjafat, og han nøt stor rikdom og ære.
