2 Chronicles 17:3-5

International Standard Version

³ The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example set during his ancestor David’s preliminary years by not pursuing the Baals.^{[a] 4} Instead, Jehoshaphat^[b] sought the God of his ancestors and obeyed his commands, unlike Israel. ⁵ Therefore the Lord secured Jehoshaphat’s^[c] kingdom under his control, with all of Judah paying him tribute, and Jehoshaphat became very wealthy and greatly respected.
