Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Chronicles. Jehu rebukes Jehoshaphat for helping the wicked but also acknowledges that the king had removed idolatrous symbols and sought God. The evaluation is nuanced: a wrong alliance does not completely erase his reforms, but it does reveal an area where his policy contradicted his religious commitment.

Aber doch ist etwas Gutes an dir gefunden, daß du die Ascherabilder hast ausgefegt aus dem Lande und hast dein Herz gerichtet, Gott zu suchen.
Empero se han hallado en ti buenas cosas, porque cortaste de la tierra los bosques, y has apercibido tu corazón a buscar a Dios.
Sin embargo, se han hallado cosas buenas en ti, porque quitaste las imágenes de Asera de la tierra y dispusiste tu corazón a buscar a Dios».
Mais il s'est trouvé de bonnes choses en toi, car tu as fait disparaître du pays les idoles, et tu as appliqué ton coeur à chercher Dieu.
Ma pure in te si son trovate di buone cose; conciossiachè tu abbi tolti via dal paese i boschi, ed abbi disposto il cuor tuo a ricercare Iddio.
Boas coisas contudo se acharam em ti; porque tiraste os bosques da terra, e preparaste o teu coração para buscar a Deus.
然而你還有善行,因你從國中除掉 亞舍拉 ,立定心意尋求上帝。」
