1 Iehoshaphat succeeding Asa, reigneth well,
and prospereth. 7 He sendeth Leuites with

being terrified by God, some of them bring
him presents and tribute. 12 His greatnesse,
captaines and armies.

And note Iehoshaphat his
sonne reigned in his stead,
and strengthened himselfe
against Israel.
2
And he placed forces
in all the fenced cities of Iudah, and set
garisons in the land of Iudah, and in
the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father
had taken.
3
And the Lord was with Iehoshaphat,
because hee walked in the
first wayes of his father Dauid, and
sought not vnto Baalim:
4
But sought to the Lord God
of his father, and walked in his commandements,
and not after the doings
of Israel:
5
Therefore the Lord stablished
the kingdome in his hand, and all Iudah note
brought to Iehoshaphat presents,
and he had riches and honour in abundance.
6
And his heart was note lift vp in the
wayes of the Lord: moreouer hee
tooke away the high places and groues
out of Iudah.

reigne, hee sent to his princes, euen to
Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah,
and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah,
to teach in the cities of Iudah:
8
And with them hee sent Leuites,
euen Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and
Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth,
and Iehonathan, and Adoniiah,
and Tobiiah, and Tob-adoniiah,
Leuites: and with them, Elishama and

10

note fell vpon all the kingdomes of the
lands that were round about Iudah, so
that they made no warre against Iehoshaphat.
11
Also some of the Philistines brought
Iehoshaphat presents, and tribute siluer,
and the Arabians brought him
flocks, seuen thousand and seuen hundred
rammes, and seuen thousand and
seuen hundred he goats.
12
¶ And Iehoshaphat waxed great
exceedingly, and he built in Iudah note castles,
and cities of store.

cities of Iudah: and the men of warre,
mightie men of valour, were in Ierusalem.
14

according to the house of their fathers:
Of Iudah, the captaines of thousands,
Adnah the chiefe, and with him mighty
men of valour, three hundred thousand.
15
And note next to him was Iehohanan
the captaine, and with him two hundred
