2 Chronicles 17:3-9

3 The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals, 4 but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, ^aand not according to the practices of Israel. 5 Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand. And all Judah ^bbrought tribute to Jehoshaphat, ^cand he had great riches and honor. 6 His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord. And furthermore, ^dhe took the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.

7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, ^eto teach in the cities of Judah; 8 ^fand with them the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah; and with these Levites, the priests Elishama and Jehoram. 9 And ^gthey taught in Judah, having the Book of the Law of the Lord with them. They went about through all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.

2 Chronicles 19:3-4

3 Nevertheless, ^hsome good is found in you, for ⁱyou destroyed the Asheroth out of the land, and have ^jset your heart to seek God.”

4 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem. And he went out again among the people, from Beersheba to ^kthe hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

Psalms 15:4

4 ^lin whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who ^mswears to his own hurt and does not change;
