1 And Jehoshaphat|strong="H3092" his son|strong="H1121" reigned|strong="H4427" in his stead, and strengthened|strong="H2388" himself against Israel|strong="H3478".
2 And he placed|strong="H5414" forces|strong="H2428" in all the fenced|strong="H1219" cities|strong="H5892" of Judah|strong="H3063", and set|strong="H5414" garrisons|strong="H5333" in the land|strong="H0776" of Judah|strong="H3063", and in the cities|strong="H5892" of Ephraim|strong="H0669", which Asa|strong="H0609" his father|strong="H0001" had taken|strong="H3920".
3 And the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* was with Jehoshaphat|strong="H3092", because he walked|strong="H1980" in the first|strong="H7223" ways|strong="H1870" of his father|strong="H0001" David|strong="H1732", and sought|strong="H1875" not unto Baalim|strong="H1168";
4 But sought|strong="H1875" to the \+nd Lord\+nd* God|strong="H0430" of his father|strong="H0001", and walked|strong="H1980" in his commandments|strong="H4687", and not after the doings|strong="H4639" of Israel|strong="H3478".
5 Therefore the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* stablished|strong="H3559" the kingdom|strong="H4467" in his hand|strong="H3027"; and all Judah|strong="H3063" brought|strong="H5414" to Jehoshaphat|strong="H3092" presents|strong="H4503"; and he had riches|strong="H6239" and honour|strong="H3519" in abundance|strong="H7230".
6 And his heart|strong="H3820" was lifted up|strong="H1361" in the ways|strong="H1870" of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*: moreover he took away|strong="H5493" the high places|strong="H1116" and groves|strong="H0842" out of Judah|strong="H3063".
7 Also in the third|strong="H7969" year|strong="H8141" of his reign|strong="H4427" he sent|strong="H7971" to his princes|strong="H8269", even to Ben-hail|strong="H1134", and to Obadiah|strong="H5662", and to Zechariah|strong="H2148", and to Nethaneel|strong="H5417", and to Michaiah|strong="H4322", to teach|strong="H3925" in the cities|strong="H5892" of Judah|strong="H3063".
8 And with them he sent Levites|strong="H3881", even Shemaiah|strong="H8098", and Nethaniah|strong="H5418", and Zebadiah|strong="H2069", and Asahel|strong="H6214", and Shemiramoth|strong="H8070", and Jehonathan|strong="H3083", and Adonijah|strong="H0138", and Tobijah|strong="H2900", and Tob-adonijah|strong="H2899", Levites|strong="H3881"; and with them Elishama|strong="H0476" and Jehoram|strong="H3088", priests|strong="H3548".
9 And they taught|strong="H3925" in Judah|strong="H3063", and had the book|strong="H5612" of the law|strong="H8451" of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* with them, and went about|strong="H5437" throughout all the cities|strong="H5892" of Judah|strong="H3063", and taught|strong="H3925" the people|strong="H5971".
10 And the fear|strong="H6343" of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* fell upon all the kingdoms|strong="H4467" of the lands|strong="H0776" that were round about|strong="H5439" Judah|strong="H3063", so that they made no war|strong="H3898" against Jehoshaphat|strong="H3092".
11 Also some of the Philistines|strong="H6430" brought|strong="H0935" Jehoshaphat|strong="H3092" presents|strong="H4503", and tribute|strong="H4853" silver|strong="H3701"; and the Arabians|strong="H6163" brought|strong="H0935" him flocks|strong="H6629", seven|strong="H7651" thousand|strong="H0505" and seven|strong="H7651" hundred|strong="H3967" rams|strong="H0352", and seven|strong="H7651" thousand|strong="H0505" and seven|strong="H7651" hundred|strong="H3967" he goats|strong="H8495".
12 And Jehoshaphat|strong="H3092" waxed|strong="H1980" great|strong="H1432" exceedingly|strong="H4605"; and he built|strong="H1129" in Judah|strong="H3063" castles|strong="H1003", and cities|strong="H5892" of store|strong="H4543".
13 And he had much|strong="H7227" business|strong="H4399" in the cities|strong="H5892" of Judah|strong="H3063": and the men|strong="H0582" of war|strong="H4421", mighty men|strong="H1368" of valour|strong="H2428", were in Jerusalem|strong="H3389".
14 And these are the numbers|strong="H6486" of them according to the house|strong="H1004" of their fathers|strong="H0001": Of Judah|strong="H3063", the captains|strong="H8269" of thousands|strong="H0505"; Adnah|strong="H5734" the chief|strong="H8269", and with him mighty men|strong="H1368" of valour|strong="H2428" three|strong="H7969" hundred|strong="H3967" thousand|strong="H0505".
15 And next|strong="H3027" to him was Jehohanan|strong="H3076" the captain|strong="H8269", and with him two hundred|strong="H3967" and fourscore|strong="H8084" thousand|strong="H0505".
16 And next|strong="H3027" him was Amasiah|strong="H6007" the son|strong="H1121" of Zichri|strong="H2147", who willingly offered|strong="H5068" himself unto the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*; and with him two hundred|strong="H3967" thousand|strong="H0505" mighty men|strong="H1368" of valour|strong="H2428".
17 And of Benjamin|strong="H1144"; Eliada|strong="H0450" a mighty man|strong="H1368" of valour|strong="H2428", and with him armed men|strong="H5401" with bow|strong="H7198" and shield|strong="H4043" two hundred|strong="H3967" thousand|strong="H0505".
18 And next|strong="H3027" him was Jehozabad|strong="H3075", and with him an hundred|strong="H3967" and fourscore|strong="H8084" thousand|strong="H0505" ready prepared|strong="H2502" for the war|strong="H6635".
19 These waited|strong="H8334" on the king|strong="H4428", beside those whom the king|strong="H4428" put|strong="H5414" in the fenced|strong="H4013" cities|strong="H5892" throughout all Judah|strong="H3063".
