Thematic Bible




The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed in his ancestor David's footsteps at the beginning of his reign. He did not seek the Baals,

You must serve me with integrity and sincerity, just as your father David did. Do everything I commanded and obey my rules and regulations.

He followed in his father Asa's footsteps and was careful to do what the Lord approved.

He did what the Lord approved, just as his father Amaziah had done.

He did what the Lord approved, just as his father Uzziah had done. (He did not, however, have the audacity to enter the temple.) Yet the people were still sinning.
