Jehoshaphat
Jehoshaphat (; alternatively spelled Jehosaphat, Josaphat, or Yehoshafat; ; (ギリシア語:Ἰωσαφάτ); (ラテン語:Josaphat)) was the fourth king of the Kingdom of Judah, and successor of his father Asa. His children included Jehoram, who succeeded him as king. His mother was Azubah. Historically, his name has sometimes been connected with the Valley of Jehosaphat,〔J. D. Douglas, ed., ''The New Bible Dictionary'' (Eerdmans: Grand Rapids, MI, 1965) 604)〕
== Reign ==
Jehoshaphat ascended the throne at the age of thirty-five and reigned for twenty-five years. He spent the first years of his reign fortifying his kingdom against the Kingdom of Israel. His zeal in suppressing the idolatrous worship of the "high places" is commended in 2 Chronicles 17:6.〔(Driscoll, James F. "Josaphat." ''The Catholic Encyclopedia''. Vol. 8. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1910. 8 Jan. 2014 )〕 In the third year of his reign Jehoshaphat sent out priests and Levites over the land to instruct the people in the Law, an activity that was commanded for a Sabbatical year in ). The author of Books of Chronicles generally praises his reign, stating that the kingdom enjoyed a great measure of peace and prosperity, the blessing of God resting on the people "in their basket and their store."
