2 Chronicles 17:4 in Context — 2 Chronicles 17

2 Y puso ejército en todas las ciudades fuertes de Judá, y colocó gente de guarnición, en tierra de Judá, y asimismo en las ciudades de Ephraim que su padre Asa había tomado.

3 Y fué Jehová con Josaphat, porque anduvo en los primeros caminos de David su padre, y no buscó á los Baales;

4 Sino que buscó al Dios de su padre, y anduvo en sus mandamientos, y no según las obras de Israel.

5 Jehová por tanto confirmó el reino en su mano, y todo Judá dió á Josaphat presentes; y tuvo riquezas y gloria en abundancia.

6 Y animóse su corazón en los caminos de Jehová, y quitó los altos y los bosques de Judá.
