In context

1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.

2 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.

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

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

5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.
