017:001
And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and
set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of
Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken
017:002
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the
first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim
017:003
But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his
commandments, and not after the doings of Israel
017:004
Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all
Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and
honour in abundance
017:005
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover
he took away the high places and groves out of Judah
017:006
Also 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
017:007
And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah,
and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and
Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them
Elishama and Jehoram, priests
017:008
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
017:009
And 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
017:010
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
017:011
And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah
castles, and cities of store
017:012
And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men
of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem
017:013
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 valour three hundred
thousand
017:014
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two
hundred and fourscore thousand
017:015
And 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
017:016
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him
armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand
017:017
And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and
fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war
017:018
These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in
the fenced cities throughout all Judah
