+### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/2Chronicles17.1-19)
+
+Asa's son Jehoshaphat is given many more words from the Chronicler than the previous kings of Judah.
+Jehoshaphat's faithfulness to the Lord is linked to the military success of Judah.
+He did not follow the Baals, he did remove the high places and Asherim, and he followed the Lord's commandments.
+Jehoshaphat sent out officials and priests throughout the land to teach the people from the Law of Moses.
+
+Judah's army also increased, and this military might was the visible evidence of the Lord's favor on His people so that the fear of the Lord came upon the surrounding nations.
+Therefore the Lord caused Judah and the its neighbors to show favor to Jehoshaphat, bringing gifts of silver, goats, and rams.
+These were used to fund the fortification projects and increase the army further.
+
+Jehoshaphat was given peace on all sides as his father Asa had in the early part of his reign.
+Seek the Lord faithfully, and He will bless your life.
