2 CHRONICLES 17:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.”
And his heart was courageous in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he removed the high places and the Asherim out of Judah — Jehoshaphat's initiative (וַיִּנָּשְׂאוּ־לִבּוֹ בִּדְרָכֵי יְהוָה וְעוֹד הֵסִיר אֶת־הַבָּמוֹת וְאֶת־הַאֲשֵׁרִים מִיְּהוּדָה): his 'heart was courageous' (נָשְׂא לִבּוֹ) in religious reform. He removed unauthorized worship-sites (bamot) and Asherah-poles.
