1 # And Jehoshaphat <03092> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead, and strengthened <02388> (8691) himself against Israel <03478>.
2 And he placed <05414> (8799) forces <02428> in all the fenced <01219> (8803) cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and set <05414> (8799) garrisons <05333> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>, and in the cities <05892> of Ephraim <0669>, which Asa <0609> his father <01> had taken <03920> (8804).
3 And the LORD <03068> was with Jehoshaphat <03092>, because he walked <01980> (8804) in the first <07223> ways <01870> of his father <01> David <01732>, and sought <01875> (8804) not unto Baalim <01168>;
4 But sought <01875> (8804) to the LORD God <0430> of his father <01>, and walked <01980> (8804) in his commandments <04687>, and not after the doings <04639> of Israel <03478>.
5 Therefore the LORD <03068> stablished <03559> (8686) the kingdom <04467> in his hand <03027>; and all Judah <03063> brought <05414> (8799) to Jehoshaphat <03092> presents <04503>; and he had riches <06239> and honour <03519> in abundance <07230>.
6 And his heart <03820> was lifted up <01361> (8799) in the ways <01870> of the LORD <03068>: moreover he took away <05493> (8689) the high places <01116> and groves <0842> out of Judah <03063>.
7 Also in the third <07969> year <08141> of his reign <04427> (8800) he sent <07971> (8804) to his princes <08269>, even to Benhail <01134>, and to Obadiah <05662>, and to Zechariah <02148>, and to Nethaneel <05417>, and to Michaiah <04322>, to teach <03925> (8763) in the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>.
8 And with them he sent Levites <03881>, even Shemaiah <08098>, and Nethaniah <05418>, and Zebadiah <02069> , and Asahel <06214>, and Shemiramoth <08070>, and Jehonathan <03083>, and Adonijah <0138>, and Tobijah <02900>, and Tobadonijah <02899> , Levites <03881>; and with them Elishama <0476> and Jehoram <03088>, priests <03548>.
9 And they taught <03925> (8762) in Judah <03063>, and had the book <05612> of the law <08451> of the LORD <03068> with them, and went about <05437> (8799) throughout all the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, and taught <03925> (8762) the people <05971>.
10 # And the fear <06343> of the LORD <03068> fell upon all the kingdoms <04467> of the lands <0776> that were round about <05439> Judah <03063>, so that they made no war <03898> (8738) against Jehoshaphat <03092>.
11 Also some of the Philistines <06430> brought <0935> (8688) Jehoshaphat <03092> presents <04503>, and tribute <04853> silver <03701>; and the Arabians <06163> brought <0935> (8688) him flocks <06629>, seven <07651> thousand <0505> and seven <07651> hundred <03967> rams <0352>, and seven <07651> thousand <0505> and seven <07651> hundred <03967> he goats <08495>.
12 And Jehoshaphat <03092> waxed <01980> (8802) great <01432> exceedingly <04605>; and he built <01129> (8799) in Judah <03063> castles <01003>, and cities <05892> of store <04543>.
13 And he had much <07227> business <04399> in the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>: and the men <0582> of war <04421>, mighty men <01368> of valour <02428>, were in Jerusalem <03389>.
14 And these are the numbers <06486> of them according to the house <01004> of their fathers <01>: Of Judah <03063> , the captains <08269> of thousands <0505>; Adnah <05734> the chief <08269>, and with him mighty men <01368> of valour <02428> three <07969> hundred <03967> thousand <0505>.
15 And next <03027> to him was Jehohanan <03076> the captain <08269>, and with him two hundred <03967> and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505>.
16 And next <03027> him was Amasiah <06007> the son <01121> of Zichri <02147>, who willingly offered <05068> (8693) himself unto the LORD <03068>; and with him two hundred <03967> thousand <0505> mighty men <01368> of valour <02428> .
17 And of Benjamin <01144>; Eliada <0450> a mighty man <01368> of valour <02428>, and with him armed men <05401> (8802) with bow <07198> and shield <04043> two hundred <03967> thousand <0505>.
18 And next <03027> him was Jehozabad <03075>, and with him an hundred <03967> and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> ready prepared <02502> (8803) for the war <06635>.
19 These waited <08334> (8764) on the king <04428>, beside those whom the king <04428> put <05414> (8804) in the fenced <04013> cities <05892> throughout all Judah <03063>.
