2 Chronicles 17:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ The Lord was with Jehoshaphat^[a] because he had followed the example of his father from his earliest years and did not consult the Baals. ⁴ Rather, he sought the God of his father, observing his commandments, and refused to follow the practices of Israel. ⁵ As a result of this, the Lord made secure Jehoshaphat’s control of the kingdom. All Judah brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, and his wealth and glory were exceedingly great.
