Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Chronicles 16
¹⁴ They buried him in his own tomb, which he had made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made a very great burning for him.
2 Chronicles 17
¹ Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.
² And he placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.
³ Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,
⁴ but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the acts of Israel.
⁵ Therefore the Lord established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
⁶ And his heart took delight in the ways of the Lord; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah.
⁷ Also in the third year of his reign he sent his leaders, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
⁸ And with them he sent Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah--the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
⁹ So they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the Lord with them; they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people.
¹⁰ And the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
