2 CHRONICLES 17:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben–hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.”
Also in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah — Jehoshaphat launched educational reform (וּבִשְׁנַת־שְׁלוֹשׁ לְמַלְכוּתוֹ שָׁלַח אֶת־שָׂרָיו): he dispatched officials (בִּמְלִיכוּם בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה) to teach the people. The initiative—formal religious instruction throughout Judah—was unprecedented.
