2 Chronicles 17:12-19

12Jehoshaphat’s power kept increasing. He built fortresses and storage cities throughout Judah.

13He had many supplies stored in the cities of Judah and an army of skilled warriors stationed in Jerusalem.

14These were their divisions by families: There were a thousand officers from Judah. Adnah the commander led 300,000 skilled warriors,

15Jehochanan the commander led 280,000,

16and Amasiah son of Zikri, who volunteered to serve the Lord, led 200,000 skilled warriors.

17From Benjamin, Eliada, a skilled warrior, led 200,000 men who were equipped with bows and shields,

18and Jehozabad led 180,000 trained warriors.

19These were the ones who served the king, besides those whom the king placed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
