He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

The LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals,

4 El kulansupu God lun papa tumal, ac fahsr tukun ma sap lun God, ac tia oru oana ma tokosra lun mwet Israel oru.

but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel.

The fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
