And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat; because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;

On the contrary, after the God of his father did he seek, and in his commandments did he walk, but not after the doings of Israel.

And with them were the Levites, Shema'yahu, and Nethanyahu, and Zebadyahu, and 'Assahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adoniyahu, and Tobiyahu, and Tobadoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama' and Jehoram, the priests.
