JEHOSHAPHATS GOOD REIGN IN
JUDAH.
Golden Text: Matthew vl. 33. “Seek
ye first His kingdom and His righteous-
ness, and all these things shall be add
ed unto you.”
II Chronicles xvii, 1-13.
(1) And Jchosha- having the book of
phat, hi* son,
reigned in his
stead and strength
ened himself
against Israel. (2)
And he placed
forces in all the
fenced cities of Ju
dah. and set garri
sons in the land of
Judah, and in the
cities of Ephraim,
which Asa, his fa
ther, had taken.
(3) And the Lord
was with Jehosha
phat because he
walked in the first
ways of his father
DavilE and sought
not unto the
Baalim; (4) but
sought to the god
of his father, and
walked in his com
mandments, and
not after the doings
of Israel. (5)
Therefore the Lord
established the-
kingdom in his
hand; and all Judah
brought to Jehosh
aphat presents:
and he had riches
and honor in abun
dance. (3) And his
heart was lifted up
In the ways of the
Lord, and further
more he took away
the high places and
the Asherim out of
Judah. (7) Also in
the third year of
his reign he sent
princes, even Ben-
hail. and Obodlah.
and Zechariah, and
Kethanel, and Ml-
chiah. to teach in
the cities of Judah;
(8) and with them
the Levites, even
Rhemalah, and
Kethanlah. and
Zebadlah, and
Asahel, and
Shemiramoth and
Jehonathan, and
Adonljah. and To-
bljah. and Tobado-
nijah, the Levites;
and with them
Elishama and Je-
horam. the priests.
(9) And they-
taught in Judah,
the law or the Lord
with them; and
they went about
throughout all the
cities of Judah, and
taught among the
people. (10) And
the fear of the Lord
brougbt to this work an earnestness
and devotion which accomplished great
results.
The story is one which emphasizes
the Importance and’ positive as. well as
negative action In the work of reforma
tion. His work was constructive as
well as destructive. It was destructive,
for. because his own heart found de>
light in the ways of the Lord, he took
away the high places and the Asherim
out of Judah. Such destructive work,
however, in itself Is never of lasting
value, and Jehoshaphat, realising this,
arranged for the special campaign for
teaching the people the law.
This is a truth of the profoundest
Importance and most constant appli
cation. To destroy that which is false
without substituting the true, is in the
long issues to do more harm than good.
To cast out an unclean spirit, without
bringing in the spirit of God to pos
sess the house. Is to leave ft open, and
presently to admit seven other spirit*
so that the last state Is worse than the
first. A campaign for the destructive
of evil things, unaccompanied by In
struction in the things of righteousness
Is of no lasting value.
The story Illustrates the greatness of
the blessings which Jehovah confers in
answer to those who take up this true
and thorough attitude of loyalty to
Him. The kingdom of Judah was es
tablished; the king himself was beloved
and cared for his people, who brought
him presents, until he had riches and
honor in abundance; the surrounding
kingdoms were conscious of this new
strength In Judah, and were held In
check as the fear of Jehovah fell upon
them; the Philistines and Arabians
brought him presents, thus proving that
‘'When a man's ways please the Lord.
He maketh even 'Ills enemies to be at
peace with him.**
Moreover; this religious strength con
etituted the true atmosphere for the
development of the material strength of
the nation in every way and Jehosha
phat was able to build castles and cities
of stone.
The Golden Text.
The reign of Jehoshaphat affords one
of the most remarkable illustrations In
the Old Testament of the national truth
of the words of the Manifesto of the
ingly: and he built
in Judah castles
and cities of store.
(13) And he had
many works In the
cities of Judah, and
men of war. mighty
men of valor, in Je
rusalem.
The Story.
Our previous lesson deal*-g with
Judah was concerned with /.sa's good
reign and the long period of peace fol-
fell upon all the
kingdoms of the
lands that were
round about Judah,
so that they made
no war against Je
hoshaphat. (11) And
some of the Philis
tines brought Je
hoshaphat present-
and other silver f<
tribute; the Ara
bians also brougbt
him flocks, seven
thousand and seven
hundred rams, and
seven thousand and
seven hundred he-
goat. (12) And Je-

lowing upon his reformation.'' The last
five years of the reign Were character-
lsed by more troublous experiences.
Baasha, the king of Israel, threatened
Judah, and In order to.frustrate him
Asa entered Into league with Benhadad,
king of Syria. For doing this the king
was rebuked by Hananl the seer, seeing
that such action was an evidence of
weakened faith in Jehovah. The dete- eouMle “-
rloratlon of the king was manifested by
his anger, his Imprisonment of the seer,
and his oppression of his own people.
He was afflicted with some terrible
form of disease, and died In the one-
and-fortleth year of his reign.
He was succeeded by his son Je
hoshaphat. who belt all his energies to
ward the true refermation of his peo
ple. It Is significantly declared that
“he walked In the first ways of his
father David,” those ways of simple
loyalty and courage which made the
kingdom great at the beginning. His
devotion was marked by the fact that
he sought In the God of bis father, and
he found delight in obedience, for It
Is said that his heart was lifted up In
the ways of the Lord.
A brief paragraph, consisting of three
verses, tells the story of a most re
markable movement which the king
initiated, that namely of special mis
sions thru the cities of Judah for the
one purpose of teaching the people the
book of the law. These missions wen
made Impressive by the fact that those
conducting them were princes and
' Levites and priests.
A result of these attitudes and activ
ities of Jehoshaphat was that of great
material prosperity and peace through
out the kingdom.
The Teaching.
The story of the reign of Jehosha
phat affords a radiant illustration of
the troth of the principle which Asa-
riah had enunciated to Asa. “The
Lord Is with you, -while ye be with
Him.” It would seem ms the Jehosha
phat entered more profoundly Into the
truth of that word than did his father
golden text First things having first |
place, all things are added, in the econ- ’
omy, and by the power of God. To
seek material well-being first, while the {
supreme matter of relationship to God ;
is neglected, is inevitably ultimately to
fall, 'however much for the moment
success may seem to crown the effort.
To adjust the central fact of life to the
kingship and righteousness of God Is to
Insure all necessary blessings, even tho
for the moment loyalty demand sacri
fice.
