Commentary on 2 Chronicles 17:9
Theological / DevotionalBook of the law. Moses had given important instruction which, if heeded, would mean much to the nation. Jehoshaphat understood that the prosperity of his nation depended upon obedience to the commands of the Lord. He therefore did all that was in his power to see that the people became acquainted with the divine requirements, that they might put away sin and walk fully in the ways of the Lord.
Throughout all the cities. Jehoshaphat’s measures were not halfhearted. Throughout the country the priests were sent with the commission to instruct the people in the law of the Lord and the ways of righteousness. A spiritual awakening in all parts of the nation was the result of the king’s earnest efforts for his people. He became Judah’s first great reforming king.
