2 CHRONICLES 17:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;”
Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David, and did not seek the Baals — Divine favor (וַיְהִי יְהוָה עִם־יְהוֹשָׁפָט) attended Jehoshaphat because 'he walked in the former ways of his father David' (כִּי־הָלַךְ בִּדְרָכִים הָרִאשׁוֹנִים לְדָוִד אָבִיו וְלֹא־דָרַשׁ אֶת־הַבְּעָלִים). The contrast: rather than seeking Baals (false deities), Jehoshaphat pursued David's covenantal ways.
