2 Chronicles 17 · Grade 4

A Heart Lifted Up

Name Date

Read and Think

Jehoshaphat strengthened Judah with soldiers and garrisons. Yahweh was with him, because he walked in the first ways of his father David and did not seek the Baals. He sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, not in the ways of Israel. So Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand.

His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh. This was not pride, but courage and joy in following God. He removed the high places and Asherah poles from Judah.

In his third year he sent five princes, nine Levites, and two priests to teach. They carried the book of Yahweh's law through all the cities of Judah. The fear of Yahweh fell on the nations around. Even Philistines and Arabians brought gifts. Jehoshaphat grew great and built fortresses and store cities.
