Contextual Overview
1His son Jehoshaphat became king in his place and strengthened himself against Israel. 2He stationed troops in every fortified city of Judah and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured. 3Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the former ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals 4but sought the God of his father and walked by his commands, not according to the practices of Israel. 5So the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. Then all Judah brought him tribute, and he had riches and honor in abundance. 6His mind rejoiced in the Lord’s ways, and he again removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah. 7In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent his officials—Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah—to teach in the cities of Judah. 8The Levites with them were Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah; the priests, Elishama and Jehoram, were with these Levites. 9They taught throughout Judah, having the book of the Lord’s instruction with them. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
