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.
