3 And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baals;

And they taught in Iudah, and had the booke of the Lawe of the Lord with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Iudah, and taught the people.
10 And the terror of Jehovah was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
