So the reign of Jehoshaphat was quiet.

The character of Jehoshaphat

I. Jehoshaphat is not unlike Hezekiah and Josiah.

II. His personal character seems to have had very distinctive features in it.

III. He was distinguished for his simple and yet profound reliance on God.

IV. The religion of most persons of great power and position--such as those possessed by Jehoshaphat--is usually reserved, and anything but childlike. Conclusion: The practical bearing of this study is that there are many in whom the possession and exercise of great powers, which are usually called worldly, are not by any means inconsistent with the most humble and sincere piety.
