CHAP. XVII.
1 Jehoshaphat succeeding Asa, reigneth well,
and prospereth: 7 He sendeth Levites with
the princes to teach Judah: 10 His enemies
being terrified by God, some of them bring
him presents and tribute: 12 His greatness,
captains, and armies.
1 And note Jehosaphat his son reigned in
his stead, and strengthened himself
against Israel.
2 And 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 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat,
because he walked in the first ways
of his father David, and sought not to
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 established the
kingdom in his hand: and all Judah
note brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and
he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 And his heart note was lifted up in the
ways of the Lord: moreover he took
away the high places and groves out of
Judah.
7 ¶2; Also in the third year of his reign
he sent to his princes, even to Ben-hail,
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 Tob-adonijah, 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 ¶2; And the fear of the Lord note fell
upon all the kingdoms of the lands that
were around 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 ¶2; And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly
great; and he built in Judah note castles,
and cities of store.
13 And he had much business in the
cities of Judah: and the men of war,
mighty men of valor, 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 valor three hundred thousand.
15 And note next to him was Jehohanan
the captain, and with him two hundred
and eighty thousand.
16 And next to him was Amasiah the
son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself
to the Lord; and with him two hundred
thousand mighty men of valor.
17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty
man of valor, and with him armed men
with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and
with him a hundred and eighty thousand
ready prepared for the war.
19 These waited on the king, besides
those whom the king put in the fortified
cities throughout all Judah.
