Adonai was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the first ways of his father David. He did not seek the Baalim
but sought the God of his father, and walked in His mitzvot rather than the deeds of Israel.
Nevertheless, good things are found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles out of the land and have set your heart to seek God.”
He continued to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding through the visions of God. As long as he sought Adonai, God made him prosper.
Jotham also fought the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. That year the Ammonites paid him 100 talents of silver, 10,000 measures of wheat and 10,000 of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
