2 Chronicles 17 · Grade 5

A Kingdom Taught by God's Word

Name Date

Read and Think

Jehoshaphat is one of the best kings in Chronicles. He began by strengthening Judah, but the Chronicler gives the real reason for his success: Yahweh was with him, because he sought God and walked in his commandments. His heart was lifted up in Yahweh's ways, a phrase that means bold, joyful devotion.

His most remarkable act was a teaching mission. In his third year, he sent princes, Levites, and priests throughout Judah with the book of Yahweh's law. Leaders and teachers worked together so that ordinary people in every town could hear God's word.

The result reached beyond Judah. The fear of Yahweh fell on the kingdoms around, so they made no war. Philistines brought gifts and silver, and Arabians brought flocks. A people shaped by God's word became strong and secure. In the New Testament, Paul writes that every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching (2 Timothy 3:16).
