2 Chronicles  


17 : 1 Jehoshaphat his son then became king in his place, and made his position over Israel firm.
17 : 2 He placed troops 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 captured.
17 : 3 The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father David`s earlier days and did not seek the Baals,
17 : 4 but sought the God of his father, followed His commandments, and did not act as Israel did.
17 : 5 So the LORD established the kingdom in his control, and all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor.
17 : 6 He took great pride in the ways of the LORD and again removed the high places and the Asherim from Judah.
17 : 7 Then in the third year of his reign he sent his officials, Ben-hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
17 : 8 and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
17 : 9 They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
17 : 10 Now the dread of the LORD was on all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
17 : 11 Some of the Philistines brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat; the Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats.
17 : 12 So Jehoshaphat grew greater and greater, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
17 : 13 He had large supplies in the cities of Judah, and warriors, valiant men, in Jerusalem.
17 : 14 This was their muster according to their fathers` households: of Judah, commanders of thousands, Adnah was the commander, and with him 300,000 valiant warriors;
17 : 15 and next to him was Johanan the commander, and with him 280,000;
17 : 16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who volunteered for the LORD, and with him 200,000 valiant warriors;
17 : 17 and of Benjamin, Eliada a valiant warrior, and with him 200,000 armed with bow and shield;
17 : 18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 equipped for war.
17 : 19 These are they who served the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortified cities through all Judah.
