2 - He stationed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah and put garrisons in Judah and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
3 - The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because in his early years he walked in the ways his father David had followed. He did not consult the Baals

5 - The LORD established the kingdom under his control; and all Judah brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, so that he had great wealth and honor.
