The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David before him. He did not consult the Baals

The Lord was with Jehoshaphat. That’s because he lived the way King David had lived. He didn’t ask for advice from the gods that were named Baal.

The Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals,

The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father’s early years and did not worship the images of Baal.

Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the former ways of his ancestor David. He did not seek the Baals

And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father David’s earlier days and did not seek the Baals,

Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,

And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim,

Now the Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the former ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baals

And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

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

He did what the LORD approved and followed in his ancestor David’s footsteps; he did not deviate to the right or the left.

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you! Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! I strengthen you– yes, I help you– yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand!

No one will be able to resist you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not abandon you or leave you alone.

Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted! Issue your orders, but they will not be executed! For God is with us!

The LORD who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector!( Selah)

So now go, and I will be with your mouth and will teach you what you must say.”

He did what the LORD approved, just as his ancestor David had done.

For where two or three are assembled in my name, I am there among them.”

The LORD’s messenger appeared and said to him,“ The LORD is with you, courageous warrior!”

He met Asa and told him,“ Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin! The LORD is with you when you are loyal to him. If you seek him, he will respond to you, but if you reject him, he will reject you.

O LORD, for David’s sake remember all his strenuous effort,and how he made a vow to the LORD, and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.He said,“ I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,until I find a place for the LORD, a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob.”

“ Look! The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him Emmanuel,” which means“ God with us.”

He replied,“ Surely I will be with you, and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you bring the people out of Egypt, you and they will serve God on this mountain.”

teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

“ How can you say,‘ I have not made myself unclean. I have not paid allegiance to the gods called Baal.’ Just look at the way you have behaved in the Valley of Hinnom! Think about the things you have done there! You are like a flighty, young female camel that rushes here and there, crisscrossing its path.

When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he was encouraged. He removed the detestable idols from the entire land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had seized in the Ephraimite hill country. He repaired the altar of the LORD in front of the porch of the LORD’s temple.He assembled all Judah and Benjamin, as well as the settlers from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had come to live with them. Many people from Israel had come there to live when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.They assembled in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.At that time they sacrificed to the LORD some of the plunder they had brought back, including 700 head of cattle and 7,000 sheep.They solemnly agreed to seek the LORD God of their ancestors with their whole heart and being.Anyone who would not seek the LORD God of Israel would be executed, whether they were young or old, male or female.

The LORD who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector!( Selah)

Solomon did evil in the LORD’s sight; he did not remain loyal to the LORD, like his father David had.

David reigned over all Israel; he guaranteed justice for all his people.

David’s power grew steadily, for the LORD God who commands armies was with him.

He told them,“ The LORD your God is with you! He has made you secure on every side, for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region and the region is subdued before the LORD and his people.

I repeat, be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, for I, the LORD your God, am with you in all you do.”

He followed all the sinful practices of his father before him. He was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his ancestor David had been.Nevertheless for David’s sake the LORD his God maintained his dynasty in Jerusalem by giving him a son to succeed him and by protecting Jerusalem.

When the LORD raised up leaders for them, the LORD was with each leader and delivered the people from their enemies while the leader remained alive. The LORD felt sorry for them when they cried out in agony because of what their harsh oppressors did to them.

( 14: 1) Asa did what the LORD his God desired and approved.He removed the pagan altars and the high places, smashed the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles.He ordered Judah to seek the LORD God of their ancestors and to observe his law and commands.He removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah. The kingdom had rest under his rule.

Asa prayed to the LORD his God:“ O LORD, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. O LORD our God, don’t let men prevail against you!”

The Israelites did evil before the LORD by worshiping the Baals.

After Gideon died, the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals. They made Baal-Berith their god.

Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what pleased the LORD his God, in contrast to his ancestor David.

The LORD was with Joseph. He was successful and lived in the household of his Egyptian master.His master observed that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he was doing successful.

But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him kindness. He granted him favor in the sight of the prison warden.

He did what the LORD approved, but not like David his father. He followed the example of his father Joash.
