[:en]Thoughts from 2 Chronicles 17[:]

[:en]Jehoshaphat succeeded Asa as king.  In his early years, he walked in the ways of the Lord and the Lord was with Him.  He sent officials to teach the Book of the Law to all people.  All the kingdoms surrounding Judah made peace with Jehoshaphat.  He became more powerful, building forts, storing supplies and keeping fighting men in Jerusalem.[:]
