1. And Yehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Yisra’ĕl,
2. and placed an army in all the walled cities of Yehuḏah, and set watch-posts in the land of Yehuḏah and in the cities of Ephrayim which Asa his father had taken.
3. And יהוה was with Yehoshaphat, for he walked in the former ways of his father Dawiḏ, and did not seek the Ba‛als,
4. but sought the Elohim of his father, and walked in His commands and not according to the deeds of Yisra’ĕl.
5. So יהוה established the reign in his hand. And all Yehuḏah gave presents to Yehoshaphat, and he had great riches and esteem.
6. And his heart was exalted in the ways of יהוה, and he again removed the high places and the Ashĕrim from Yehuḏah.
