2 CHRONICLES 17:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.”
But sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel — Jehoshaphat 'sought the God of his father' (כִּי־אֶל־אֱלֹהֵי אָבִיו דָּרַשׁ) and 'walked in his commandments' (וַיִּשְׁמֹר אֶת־מִצְוֹתָיו), refusing to follow 'the doings of Israel' (וְלֹא־עָשׂוּ כְּמַעֲשֵׂה יִשְׂרָאֵל). The deliberate differentiation from northern worship marked southern legitimacy.
