The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David before him. He did not consult the Baals, but sought the God of his father and followed his commands rather than the practices of Israel.
2 Chronicles 17:3-4 NIV
Ever play the game what is missing?
Two seemingly identical pictures with small difference.
That is the story of the kings in the Old Testament.
Repeating images and stories of kings, but with one difference.
Some chose to follow the ways of God and to honor Him in all ways.
Some didn't.
Some prospered and lived long lives - a type of "happily ever after."
Some didn't.
Which image are you repeating?
