2 Chronicles 17

1And JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead, and strengthenedH2388 himself against IsraelH3478. 2And he placed forces in all the fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and setH5414 garrisonsH5333 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of EphraimH669 that AsaH609 his fatherH1 had takenH3920. 3And Jehovah wasH1961 with JehoshaphatH3092, for he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 not unto the BaalsH1168; 4but he soughtH1875 the 1GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and not after the doings of IsraelH3478. 5And Jehovah establishedH3559 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027; and all JudahH3063 gaveH5414 giftsH4503 to JehoshaphatH3092; and he had richesH6239 and honour in abundanceH7230. 6And he took courage in the waysH1870 of Jehovah; moreover, he removedH5493 the highH1116 placesH1116 and Asherahs out of JudahH3063. 7And in the third yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 his princesH8269, Ben-hail, and ObadiahH5662, and ZechariahH2148, and Nethaneel, and Micah, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063; 8and with them the LevitesH3881: ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and Tobijah, and Tob-Adonijah, LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, the priestsH3548. 9And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, and had the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of Jehovah with them; and they wentH5437 about through all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 among the peopleH5971. 10And the terrorH6343 of Jehovah wasH1961 upon all the kingdomsH4467 of the landsH776 that were roundH5439 about JudahH3063, and they made no war against JehoshaphatH3092. 11And some of the PhilistinesH6430 broughtH935 JehoshaphatH3092 giftsH4503 and tribute-silver. The Arabians alsoH1571 broughtH935 him flocksH6629, sevenH7651 thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 he-goats. 12And JehoshaphatH3092 waxed exceeding great; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castles and store-cities. 13And he had muchH7227 businessH4399 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063; and menH376 of warH4421, strong and valiant, in JerusalemH3389. 14And these are the numbers of them according to their fathers' housesH1004. Of JudahH3063 the captains of thousandsH505: Adnah the captain, and with him threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 menH1368 of valour; 15and next to him was JohananH3076 the captain, and with him twoH3967 hundredH3967 and eightyH8084 thousandH505; 16and next to him, Amasiah the sonH1121 of Zichri, who willingly offeredH5068 himself to Jehovah; and with him twoH3967 hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 menH1368 of valour. 17And of BenjaminH1144: EliadaH450, a mightyH1368 manH1368 of valour, and with him two hundredH3967 thousandH505, armed with bowH7198 and shieldH4043; 18and next to him was JehozabadH3075, and with him a hundredH3967 and eightyH8084 thousandH505 ready prepared for warH6635. 19These were they that waited on the kingH4428, besides those that the kingH4428 had putH5414 in the fortified citiesH5892 throughout JudahH3063.
