This man was a righteous king of the land of Judah
His life yields valuable lessons of the blessings of heeding
God’s Word and the dangers of meddling and dabbling with the world
Jehoshaphat started his reign well-so the Scriptural chronicles tell
He walked in the path of his ancestor David whose heart
Was fixed on the Divine throughout with stout and unflagging loyalty
Because he walked with the Word, Jehoshaphat was blessed of the Lord
He had peace on every side for the countries beside made no trouble
Instead they paid tribute with presents and loyal sentiments
Jehoshaphat built cities, fortifications and institutions
His pomp, power and prestige grew by leaps and bounds
