1And Iehosphat his sonne reigned in his steade, and preuailed against Israel. 2And he put garisons in all the strong cities of Iudah, and set bandes in the lande of Iudah and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. 3And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; 4But sought the Lorde God of his father, and walked in his commandements, and not after the trade of Israel. 5Therefore the Lorde stablished the kingdome in his hande, and all Iudah brought presents to Iehoshaphat, so that he had of riches and honour in abundance. 6And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah. 7Also 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. 8And with them Leuites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehonathan, and Adoniiah, and Tobiiah, and Tob-adoniiah, Leuites, and with the Elishama and Iehoram Priestes. 9And they taught in Iudah, and had the booke of the Lawe of the Lorde with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Iudah, and taught the people. 10And 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. 11Also some of the Philistims brought Iehoshaphat giftes and tribute siluer, and the Arabians brought him flockes, seuen thousande and seuen hundreth rammes, and seuen thousande and seuen hundreth hee goates. 12So Iehoshaphat prospered and grewe vp on hie: and he built in Iudah palaces and cities of store. 13And he had great workes in the cities of Iudah, and men of warre, and valiant men in Ierusalem. 14And these are the nombers of them after the house of their fathers, In Iudah were captaines of thousands, Adnah the captaine, & with him of valiant men three hundreth thousande. 15And at his hande Iehohanan a captaine, and with him two hundreth and fourescore thousande. 16And 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. 17And of Beniamin, Eliada a valiant man, and with him armed men with bowe and shielde two hundreth thousand. 18And at his hand Iehozabad, and with him an hundreth and fourescore thousand armed to the warre. 19These waited on the king, beside [those] whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
