He followed in his father's footsteps...Asa. Jehoshaphat was a single minded leader. He was loved by his people. In seeking a strategy for battle, his main question was doing what God wanted. Great leaders are single minded. The greatest leaders are single minded on God. Here is the accounto fhis single mindedness...
"God was on Jehoshaphat's side because he stuck to the ways of his father Asa's early years. He didn't fool around with the popular Baal religion—he was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to him; he wasn't like Israel. And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honored. He was single-minded in following God; and he got rid of the local sex-and-religion shrines.
