1And JehoshaphatH3092 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478, and strengthenedH2388 himselfH2388 againstH5921 IsraelH3478. 2And he placedH5414 forcesH2428 in allH3605 the fenced citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and setH5414 garrisonsH5333 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of EphraimH669, whichH834 AsaH609 his fatherH1 had takenH3920. 3And the LORDH3068 was with JehoshaphatH3092, becauseH3588 he walkedH1980 in the firstH7223 waysH1870 of his fatherH1 DavidH1732, and soughtH1875 notH3808 unto the Baalim; 4but soughtH1875 to the GodH430 of his fatherH1, and walkedH1980 in his commandmentsH4687, and notH3808 afterH3588 the doings of IsraelH3478. 5Therefore the LORDH3068 stablished the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027; and allH3605 JudahH3063 broughtH5414 to JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503; and he had richesH6239 and honour in abundanceH7230. 6And his heartH3820 was lifted upH853 in the waysH1870 of the LORDH3068: and furthermoreH5750 he tookH5493 awayH5493 the highH1116 placesH1116 and the AsherimH842 outH853 of JudahH3063. 7Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 his princesH8269, even Ben-hailH1134, and ObadiahH5662, and ZechariahH2148, and NethanelH5417, and MicaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063; 8and with them the LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and Tob-adonijah, the LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, the priestsH3548. 9And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, having the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them; and they wentH5437 aboutH5437 throughoutH3605 allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 among the peopleH5971. 10And the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 fellH5921 uponH5921 allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the landsH776 that were roundH5439 aboutH1961 JudahH3063, soH1961 that they madeH1961 noH3808 war againstH5921 JehoshaphatH3092. 11And someH4480 of the PhilistinesH6430 broughtH935 JehoshaphatH3092 presentsH4503, and silverH3701 for tributeH4503; the Arabians also broughtH935 him flocksH6629, sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 he-goats. 12And JehoshaphatH3092 waxed great exceedinglyH4605; and he builtH1129 in JudahH3063 castles and citiesH5892 of storeH4543. 13And he had manyH7227 worksH4399 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063; and menH376 of warH4421, mightyH1368 menH376 of valour, in JerusalemH3389. 14And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers’H1 housesH1004: of JudahH3063, the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505; Adnah the captainH8269, and with him mightyH1368 menH1368 of valour threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505: 15and nextH5921 to him JehohananH3076 the captainH8269, and with him twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fourscore thousandH505: 16and nextH5921 to him AmasiahH6007 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, who willinglyH5068 offeredH5068 himselfH3027 unto the LORDH3068; and with him twoH3967 hundredH3967 thousandH505 mightyH1368 menH1368 of valour: 17And of BenjaminH1144; EliadaH450 a mightyH1368 manH1368 of valour, and with him twoH4480 hundredH3967 thousandH505 armedH4043 with bowH7198 and shieldH4043: 18and nextH5921 to him JehozabadH3075, and with him an hundredH3967 and fourscore thousandH505 ready preparedH3027 for warH6635. 19TheseH428 were they that waited on the kingH4428, beside thoseH428 whomH834 the kingH4428 putH5414 in the fenced citiesH5892 throughoutH3605 allH3605 JudahH3063.
