¶ The .xvij. Chapter.
¶ Iehosaphat causeth the feare of the Lorde to be
renued amonge the people.
A And note Iehosaphat his s&obar;e raygned
in hys steade, ∧ preuayled agaynst
Israel. And he put souldyers in all
the stronge cityes of Iuda, and sett
rulers in the lande of Iuda and in the cityes
of Ephra&ibar;, which Asa his father had w&obar;ne.
And the Lorde was with Iehosaphat, because
he walked in the olde wayes of his father
Dauid, and sought not Baalim. But
sought the Lorde God of hys father, ∧ walked
in hys commaundmentes: and not after
the doynges of Israel. And the Lord stablisshed
the kyngdome in his hande, and all they
that were in Iuda,
B brought hym presentes,
so that he had aboundance of riches and honoure.
And he lyft vp his hert vnto þe; wayes
of the Lorde, and he putt downe yet more of
the hylaultars and groues out of Iuda.
In the thyrde yere of hys raygne he sent
to hys lordes, euen to Benhail, Obadia, Zacharia,
Nethanel and to Michaahu, þt; they
shulde teach in the cityes of Iuda, and with
them he sent leuites: euen Semeiahu, Nethaniahu,
Zabadiahu, Asahel, Semiramoth, ∧
Tubadonia, and with them Elisamah and
Iehoram prestes. And they taught in Iuda,
and had the boke of the lawe of God &wt; th&ebar;,
and went about thorowout all the cityes of
Iuda, and taught the people.
C And the feare of the Lorde fell vpon all þe;
kyngdomes of the landes that were rounde
about Iuda, ∧ they fought not agaynst Iehosaphat.
And some of þe; philistines brought
Iehosaphat gyftes, and tribute syluer: And
-- --
Ahab.
therto the Arabians brought him catell: eu&ebar;
vij.M. and .vij.C. rammes, and .vij.M. and
vij.C. he goates. And so Iehosaphat prospered
∧ grue vp on hye. And he buylt in Iuda,
castels and stronge cityes, ∧ he had great
substaunce in the cities of Iuda, but the men
of armes ∧ str&obar;gest soudiers were &ibar; Ierusal&ebar;.
D And these are the offyces of th&ebar; in the houses
of their fathers, the captaines ouer thousandes
in Iuda. Adna the captayne, ∧ with
hym of fightynge men .iij.C.M. And next to
hys hande was Iehohanan a captayne, and
with hym .ij.C. and .lxxx.M. And nexte him
was Amazia the s&obar;ne of Zichri, which of his
awne good wil offred him selfe vnto þe; Lord,
and &wt; hym .ij.C.M. myghty men of warre.
And of the chyldren of Beniamin, Eliada a
man of myght, and had with hym armed m&ebar;
with bowe ∧ shylde .ij.C.M. And nexte hym
was Iehosabad, and with hym an .C. and
lxxx.M. that were prepared for the warre.
These wayted on the kynge, besydes those
which the kinge put in the str&obar;ge cityes thorowout
all Iuda.
