[1] Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel. [2] He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. [3] Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn’t seek the Baals, [4] but sought the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not in the ways of Israel. [5] Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand. All Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance. [6] His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh. Furthermore, he took away the high places and the Asherah poles out of Judah. [7] Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah; [8] and with them Levites, even Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. [9] They taught in Judah, having the book of Yahweh’s law with them. They went about throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people. [10] The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. [11] Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver for tribute. The Arabians also brought him flocks: seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats. [12] Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah. [13] He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem. [14] This was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: From Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor; [15] and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand; [16] and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor. [17] From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield; [18] and next to him Jehozabad, and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready and prepared for war. [19] These were those who waited on the king, in addition to those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

Jehoshaphat

[1] And Jehoshaphat H3092 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead, and strengthened H2388 himself against Israel. H3478 [2] And he placed H5414 forces H2428 in all the fenced H1219 cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and set H5414 garrisons H5333 in the land H776 of Judah, H3063 and in the cities H5892 of Ephraim, H669 which H834 Asa H609 his father H1 had taken. H3920 [3] And the Lord H3068 was with Jehoshaphat, H3092 because H3588 he walked H1980 in the first H7223 ways H1870 of his father H1 David, H1732 and sought H1875 not H3808 unto Baalim; H1168 [4] but sought H1875 to the Lord God H430 of his father, H1 and walked H1980 in his commandments, H4687 and not after the doings H4639 of Israel. H3478 [5] Therefore the Lord H3068 stablished H3559 H853 the kingdom H4467 in his hand; H3027 and all Judah H3063 brought H5414§ to Jehoshaphat H3092 presents; H4503 and he had riches H6239 and honour H3519 in abundance. H7230 [6] And his heart H3820 was lifted up H1361 in the ways H1870 of the Lord: H3068 moreover he took away H5493 H853 the high places H1116 and groves H842 out of Judah. H3063 [7] Also in the third H7969 year H8141 of his reign H4427 he sent H7971 to his princes, H8269 even to Ben-hail, H1134 and to Obadiah, H5662 and to Zechariah, H2148 and to Nethaneel, H5417 and to Michaiah, H4322 to teach H3925 in the cities H5892 of Judah. H3063 [8] And with them he sent Levites, H3881 even Shemaiah, H8098 and Nethaniah, H5418 and Zebadiah, H2069 and Asahel, H6214 and Shemiramoth, H8070 and Jehonathan, H3083 and Adonijah, H138 and Tobijah, H2900 and Tob-adonijah, H2899 Levites; H3881 and with them Elishama H476 and Jehoram, H3088 priests. H3548 [9] And they taught H3925 in Judah, H3063 and had the book H5612 of the law H8451 of the Lord H3068 with H5973 them, and went about H5437 throughout all the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and taught H3925 the people. H5971 [10] And the fear H6343 of the Lord H3068 fell§ upon all the kingdoms H4467 of the lands H776 that were round about H5439 Judah, H3063 so that they made no war H3898 against H5921 Jehoshaphat. H3092 [11] Also some of the Philistines H6430 brought H935 Jehoshaphat H3092 presents, H4503 and tribute H4853 silver; H3701 and the Arabians H6163 brought H935 him flocks, H6629 seven H7651 thousand H505 and seven H7651 hundred H3967 rams, H352 and seven H7651 thousand H505 and seven H7651 hundred H3967 he goats. H8495 [12] And Jehoshaphat H3092 waxed H1980 great H1432 exceedingly; H4605 and he built H1129 in Judah H3063 castles, H1003§ and cities H5892 of store. H4543 [13] And he had much H7227 business H4399 in the cities H5892 of Judah: H3063 and the men H582 of war, H4421 mighty men H1368 of valour, H2428 were in Jerusalem. H3389 [14] And these are the numbers H6486 of them according to the house H1004 of their fathers: H1 Of Judah, H3063 the captains H8269 of thousands; H505 Adnah H5734 the chief, H8269 and with him mighty men H1368 of valour H2428 three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand. H505 [15] And next H3027 to him§ was Jehohanan H3076 the captain, H8269 and with him two hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 thousand. H505 [16] And next H3027 him was Amasiah H6007 the son H1121 of Zichri, H2147 who willingly offered H5068 himself unto the Lord; H3068 and with him two hundred H3967 thousand H505 mighty men H1368 of valour. H2428 [17] And of Benjamin; H1144 Eliada H450 a mighty man H1368 of valour, H2428 and with him armed men H5401 with H5973 bow H7198 and shield H4043 two hundred H3967 thousand. H505 [18] And next H3027 him was Jehozabad, H3075 and with him an hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 thousand H505 ready prepared H2502 for the war. H6635 [19] These H428 waited H8334 on the king, H4428 beside those whom the king H4428 put H5414 in the fenced H4013 cities H5892 throughout all Judah. H3063
