He followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.

He walked in the way of Asa his father and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord.

Jehoshaphat was a good king, following the ways of his father, Asa. He did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight.

He walked in the ways of Asa his father; he did not turn away from it but did what was right in the LORD’s sight.

He walked in the way of his father Asa and did not deviate from it, doing right in the sight of the Lord.

And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord.

And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah.

He walked in the way of Asa his father; he did not turn away from it but did what was right in the Lord’s sight.

And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing[ that which was] right in the sight of the LORD.

He followed in his father Asa’s footsteps and was careful to do what the LORD approved.

Their mouths speak words that are evil and false. They do not act wisely or do what is good.

The Lord was with Jehoshaphat. That’s because he lived the way King David had lived. He didn’t ask for advice from the gods that were named Baal.Instead, Jehoshaphat obeyed the God of his father. He obeyed the Lord’ s commands instead of the practices of Israel.The Lord made the kingdom secure under Jehoshaphat’s control. All the people of Judah brought gifts to Jehoshaphat. So he had great wealth and honor.His heart was committed to living the way the Lord wanted him to. He removed the high places from Judah. He also removed the poles used to worship the female god named Asherah.

Asa did what was right in the sight of the Lord. That’s what King David had done.

Then Asa called out to the Lord his God. He said,“ Lord, there isn’t anyone like you. You help the weak against the strong. Lord our God, help us. We trust in you. In your name we have come out to fight against this huge army. Lord, you are our God. Don’t let mere human beings win the battle over you.”The Lord struck down the men of Cush for Asa and Judah. The Cushites ran away.Asa and his army chased them all the way to Gerar. A large number of Cushites fell down wounded or dead. So they couldn’t fight back. The Lord and his army crushed them. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of goods.

I have lived the way the Lord wanted me to. I am not guilty of turning away from my God.

At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa, the king of Judah. He said to him,“ You trusted the king of Aram. You didn’t trust in the Lord your God. So the army of the king of Aram has escaped from you.The people of Cush and Libya had a strong army. They had large numbers of chariots and horsemen. But you trusted in the Lord. So he handed them over to you.The Lord looks out over the whole earth. He gives strength to those who commit their lives completely to him. You have done a foolish thing. From now on you will be at war.”Asa was angry with the prophet because of what he had said. In fact, he was so angry he put him in prison. At the same time, Asa treated some of his own people very badly.The events of Asa’s rule from beginning to end are written down. They are written in the records of the kings of Judah and Israel.In the 39th year of Asa’s rule his feet began to hurt. The pain was terrible. But even though he was suffering, he didn’t look to the Lord for help. All he did was go to the doctors.

Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.Asa removed the altars where false gods were worshiped. He took away the high places. He smashed the sacred stones. He cut down the poles used to worship the female god named Asherah.He commanded Judah to worship the Lord, the God of their people. He commanded them to obey the Lord’ s laws and commands.Asa removed the high places and incense altars from every town in Judah. The kingdom had peace and rest under his rule.
