NASB
"The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father David's earlier days and did not seek the Baals,"
— 2 Chronicles 17:3, NASB
“And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;”
“And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim, ”
“Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn't seek the Baals,”
“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,”
“And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim,”
“And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,”
“And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;”
Jehoshaphat his son then became king in his place, and made his position over Israel firm.
He placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had captured.
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father David's earlier days and did not seek the Baals,
but sought the God of his father, followed His commandments, and did not act as Israel did.
So the LORD established the kingdom in his control, and all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor.
He took great pride in the ways of the LORD and again removed the high places and the Asherim from Judah.
