Chapter 17
Zeal of Jehoshaphat for the Law. 1 Asa was succeeded as king by his son Jehoshaphat, and immediately thereafter he set out to strengthen his position against Israel. 2 He stationed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and he placed garrisons throughout Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which his father Asa had captured.
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.
