Exegesis
The adversative construction wə·lōʾ dāraš la·bā·‘ă·lîm {וְלֹא דָרַשׁ לַבְּעָלִים} marks a decisive rejection of idol consultation. English rendering preserves the causal linkage and parallel structure, rendering vav-consecutive as “and” to reflect narrative continuity and maintaining Hebrew word order for emphasis.
In context — 2 Chronicles 17:3
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he walked in the former ways of David his father and did not seek out the Baals .
