1And Jehoshaphat^H3092 his son^H1121 reigned^H4427 in his stead, and strengthened^H2388 himself against Israel^H3478. 2And he placed^H5414 forces^H2428 in all the fortified^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 Asa^H609 his father^H1 had taken^H3920. 3And Jehovah^H3068 was with Jehoshaphat^H3092, because he walked^H1980 in the first^H7223 ways^H1870 of his father^H1 David^H1732, and sought^H1875 not unto the Baalim^H1168, 4but sought^H1875 to the God^H430 of his father^H1, and walked^H1980 in his commandments^H4687, and not after the doings^H4639 of Israel^H3478. 5Therefore Jehovah^H3068 established^H3559 the kingdom^H4467 in his hand^H3027; and all Judah^H3063 brought^H5414 to Jehoshaphat^H3092 tribute^H4503; and he had riches^H6239 and honor^H3519 in abundance^H7230. 6And his heart^H3820 was lifted up^H1361 in the ways^H1870 of Jehovah^H3068: and furthermore he took away^H5493 the high places^H1116 and the Asherim^H842 out of Judah^H3063. 7Also in the third^H7969 year^H8141 of his reign^H4427 he sent^H7971 his princes^H8269, even Ben-hail^H1134, and Obadiah^H5662, and Zechariah^H2148, and Nethanel^H5417, and Micaiah^H4322, to teach^H3925 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063; 8and with them the 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, the Levites^H3881; and with them Elishama^H476 and Jehoram^H3088, the priests^H3548. 9And they taught^H3925 in Judah^H3063, having the book^H5612 of the law^H8451 of Jehovah^H3068 with them; and they went about^H5437 throughout all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063, and taught^H3925 among the people^H5971. 10And the fear^H6343 of Jehovah^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 Jehoshaphat^H3092. 11And some of the Philistines^H6430 brought^H935 Jehoshaphat^H3092 presents^H4503, and silver^H3701 for tribute^H4853; the Arabians^H6163 also 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. 12And Jehoshaphat^H3092 waxed^H1980 great^H1432 exceedingly^H4605; and he built^H1129 in Judah^H3063 castles^H1003 and cities^H5892 of store^H4543. 13And he had many^H7227 works^H4399 in the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063; and men^H582 of war^H4421, mighty men^H582 of valor^H2428, in Jerusalem^H3389. 14And this was the numbering^H6486 of them according to their fathers^H1' houses^H1004: Of Judah^H3063, the captains^H8269 of thousands^H505: Adnah^H5734 the captain^H8269, and with him mighty men^H1368 of valor^H2428 three^H7969 hundred^H3967 thousand^H505; 15and next^H3027 to him Jehohanan^H3076 the captain^H8269, and with him two hundred^H3967 and fourscore^H8084 thousand^H505; 16and next^H3027 to him Amasiah^H6007 the son^H1121 of Zichri^H2147, who willingly offered^H5068 himself unto Jehovah^H3068; and with him two hundred^H3967 thousand^H505 mighty men^H1368 of valor^H2428. 17And of Benjamin^H1144: Eliada^H450 a mighty man^H1368 of valor^H2428, and with him two hundred^H3967 thousand^H505 armed^H5401 with bow^H7198 and shield^H4043; 18and next^H3027 to him Jehozabad^H3075 and with him a hundred^H3967 and fourscore^H8084 thousand^H505 ready prepared^H2502 for war^H6635. 19These were they that waited^H8334 on the king^H4428, besides those whom the king^H4428 put^H5414 in the fortified^H4013 cities^H5892 throughout all Judah^H3063.
