The XVII. Chapter.
A And Iosaphat his sonne was kynge
in his steade, ∧ waxed mightie against
Israel. And he put men of warre in
all the stronge cities of Iuda, and set officers
in the londe of Iuda, and in the cities of
Ephraim, which Asa his father had wonne.
And the LORDE was &wt; Iosaphat: for he
walked in the olde wayes of his father Dauid,
∧ soughte not Baalim, but the God of
his father, ∧ walked in his commaundementes,
∧ not after the workes of Israel: therfore
dyd the LORDE stablyshe the kyngdome
in his h&abar;de. And all Iuda gaue presentes vnto
Iosaphat, ∧ he had greate riches ∧ worshippe.
And whan his hert was coraged in
the wayes of the LORDE, he put downe styll
the hye places and groues out of Iuda.
B In the thirde yeare of his reigne sent he
his prynces, Benhail, Obadia, Zacharias,
Nethaneel ∧ Michaia, to teach in the cities
of Iuda: ∧ with them the Leuites: Semaia,
Nethania, Sebadia, Asahel, Semiramoth,
Ionathan, Adonia, Tobia ∧ Tob Adonia, ∧
with them þe; prestes Elisama ∧ Ioram. And
they taughte in Iuda, ∧ had the boke of the
lawe of þe; LORDE &wt; them, ∧ wente aboute in
all þe; cities of Iuda, ∧ taughte the people.
And the feare of the LORDE came vpon
all þe; kyngdomes in the countrees that laye
aboute Iuda, so þt; they foughte not agaynst
Iosaphat. And the Philistynes broughte
presentes and trybute of syluer vnto Iosaphat.
And the Arabians broughte him seuen
thousande and seuen hundreth rammes,
and seuen thousande and seuen hundreth he
goates. Thus increased Iosaphat, ∧ grewe
euer greater. And he buylded castels and corne
cities in Iuda. And dyd moch in the cities
of Iuda, and had valeaunt and mightie
men at Ierusalem.
C And this was þe; ordinaunce thorow out
the house of their fathers, which were rulers
ouer the thousandes in Iuda. Adna a
captayne, ∧ &wt; him were thre h&ubar;dreth thousande
mightie men. Nexte vnto him was Iohanan
þe; chefe, and with him were two hundreth
and foure score thousande. Nexte him
was Amasia the sonne of Sichri the fre wyllinge
of þe; LORDE, and with him were two
hundreth thousande valeaunt men. Of the
children of Ben Iamin was Eliada a mightie
man, and with him were two hundreth
thousande ready with bowes and shyldes.
Nexte vnto him was Iosabad, and with
him were an hundreth and foure score thousande
harnessed men of warre. All these wayted
vpon the kynge, besydes those that the
kynge had layed in the str&obar;ge cities thorow
out all Iuda.
