2 Chronicles 17

Yehoshaphat son of Asa succeeds as king, strengthens Judah's defenses against Israel, and seeks YHWH, walking in David's ways and rejecting the Baals and Israel's practices.[1][3] YHWH establishes his kingdom with riches and honor; he sends officials, Levites, and priests throughout Judah to teach the Torah, resulting in the fear of YHWH upon surrounding nations who bring tribute, and he musters a vast army.[2][3][5]
