2 Chronicles 17:12-19

12Jehoshaphat became more and more powerful. He built strong buildings and places to store things everywhere in Judah.

13He kept lots of things in Judah's towns. He had a big army of strong, brave soldiers in Jerusalem.

14These are the groups of the soldiers in each clan: From Judah's tribe, the officer who led the soldiers was Adnah. He had authority over 300,000 soldiers, in groups of 1,000.

15The next officer was Jehohanan. He had authority over 280,000 soldiers.

16After him, the next officer was Zikri's son, Amasiah. He himself chose to serve the Lord in this way. He had authority over 200,000 soldiers.

17From Benjamin's tribe, the officer who led the soldiers was Eliada, a brave soldier. He had authority over 200,000 soldiers who had bows and arrows, as well as shields.

18After him, the next officer was Jehozabad. He had authority over 180,000 soldiers who had their weapons ready to fight.

19All these men served as the king's soldiers in Jerusalem. He also had soldiers that he put in Judah's other strong cities.
