2 Chronicles 17 (WEBP)

[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.

[1] και εβασιλευσεν ιωσαφατ υιος αυτου αντ αυτου και κατισχυσεν ιωσαφατ επι τον ισραηλ
[2] και εδωκεν δυναμιν εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν ιουδα ταις οχυραις και κατεστησεν ηγουμενους εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν ιουδα και εν πολεσιν εφραιμ ας προκατελαβετο ασα ο πατηρ αυτου
[3] και εγενετο κυριος μετα ιωσαφατ οτι επορευθη εν οδοις του πατρος αυτου ταις πρωταις και ουκ εξεζητησεν τα ειδωλα
[4] αλλα κυριον τον θεον του πατρος αυτου εξεζητησεν και εν ταις εντολαις του πατρος αυτου επορευθη και ουχ ως του ισραηλ τα εργα
[5] και κατηυθυνεν κυριος την βασιλειαν εν χειρι αυτου και εδωκεν πας ιουδα δωρα τω ιωσαφατ και εγενετο αυτω πλουτος και δοξα πολλη
[6] και υψωθη καρδια αυτου εν οδω κυριου και ετι εξηρεν τα υψηλα και τα αλση απο της γης ιουδα
[7] και εν τω τριτω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου απεστειλεν τους ηγουμενους αυτου και τους υιους των δυνατων τον αβδιαν και ζαχαριαν και ναθαναηλ και μιχαιαν διδασκειν εν πολεσιν ιουδα
[8] και μετ αυτων οι λευιται σαμουιας και ναθανιας και ζαβδιας και ασιηλ και σεμιραμωθ και ιωναθαν και αδωνιας και τωβιας οι λευιται και μετ αυτων ελισαμα και ιωραμ οι ιερεις
[9] και εδιδασκον εν ιουδα και μετ αυτων βυβλος νομου κυριου και διηλθον εν ταις πολεσιν ιουδα και εδιδασκον τον λαον
[10] και εγενετο εκστασις κυριου επι πασαις ταις βασιλειαις της γης ταις κυκλω ιουδα και ουκ επολεμουν προς ιωσαφατ
[11] και απο των αλλοφυλων εφερον τω ιωσαφατ δωρα και αργυριον και δοματα και οι αραβες εφερον αυτω κριους προβατων επτακισχιλιους επτακοσιους
[12] και ην ιωσαφατ πορευομενος μειζων εως εις υψος και ωκοδομησεν οικησεις εν τη ιουδαια και πολεις οχυρας
[13] και εργα πολλα εγενετο αυτω εν τη ιουδαια και ανδρες πολεμισται δυνατοι ισχυοντες εν ιερουσαλημ
[14] και ουτος αριθμος αυτων κατ οικους πατριων αυτων τω ιουδα χιλιαρχοι εδνας ο αρχων και μετ αυτου υιοι δυνατοι δυναμεως τριακοσιαι χιλιαδες
[15] και μετ αυτον ιωαναν ο ηγουμενος και μετ αυτου διακοσιαι ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδες
[16] και μετ αυτον αμασιας ο του ζαχρι ο προθυμουμενος τω κυριω και μετ αυτου διακοσιαι χιλιαδες δυνατοι δυναμεως
[17] και εκ του βενιαμιν δυνατος δυναμεως ελιαδα και μετ αυτου τοξοται και πελτασται διακοσιαι χιλιαδες
[18] και μετ αυτον ιωζαβαδ και μετ αυτου εκατον ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδες δυνατοι πολεμου
