2 Chronicles
Chapter 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened
himself against Israel.
2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set
garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa
his father had taken.
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first
ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
4 But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his
commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all
Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in
abundance.
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he
took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even
to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to
Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and
Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah,
and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and
Jehoram, priests.
9 And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD
with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and
taught the people.
10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands
that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against
Jehoshaphat.
11 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and
tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and
seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah
castles, and cities of store.
13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of
war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem.
14 And these are the numbers of them according to the house of
their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief,
and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
15 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two
hundred and fourscore thousand.
16 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly
offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty
men of valour.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him
armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and
fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
19 These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the
fenced cities throughout all Judah.
