Context Readings

Jehoshaphat Reigns In Judah

3 And it came to pass, that, Yahweh, was with Jehoshaphat, - because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not unto the Baalim; 4 for, unto the God of his father, he sought, and, in his commandments, he walked, - and not according to the doing of Israel. 5 Therefore did Yahweh establish the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gave a present unto Jehoshaphat, - and he came to have riches and honour, in abundance.
