¹ H3092 And Jehoshaphat H1121 his son H4427 reigned [H8799]   H2388 in his stead, and strengthened [H8691]   H3478 himself against Israel.

² H5414 And he placed [H8799]   H2428 forces H1219 in all the fenced [H8803]   H5892 cities H3063 of Judah H5414 , and set [H8799]   H5333 garrisons H776 in the land H3063 of Judah H5892 , and in the cities H669 of Ephraim H609 , which Asa H1 his father H3920 had taken [H8804]  .

³ H3068 And the LORD H3092 was with Jehoshaphat H1980 , because he walked [H8804]   H7223 in the first H1870 ways H1 of his father H1732 David H1875 , and sought [H8804]   H1168 not unto Baalim;

⁴ H1875 But sought [H8804]   H430 to the LORD God H1 of his father H1980 , and walked [H8804]   H4687 in his commandments H4639 , and not after the doings H3478 of Israel.

⁵ H3068 Therefore the LORD H3559 stablished [H8686]   H4467 the kingdom H3027 in his hand H3063 ; and all Judah H5414 brought [H8799]   H3092 to Jehoshaphat H4503 presents H6239 ; and he had riches H3519 and honour H7230 in abundance.

⁶ H3820 And his heart H1361 was lifted up [H8799]   H1870 in the ways H3068 of the LORD H5493 : moreover he took away [H8689]   H1116 the high places H842 and groves H3063 out of Judah.

⁷ H7969 Also in the third H8141 year H4427 of his reign [H8800]   H7971 he sent [H8804]   H8269 to his princes H1134 , even to Benhail H5662 , and to Obadiah H2148 , and to Zechariah H5417 , and to Nethaneel H4322 , and to Michaiah H3925 , to teach [H8763]   H5892 in the cities H3063 of Judah.

⁸ H3881 And with them he sent Levites H8098 , even Shemaiah H5418 , and Nethaniah H2069 , and Zebadiah H6214 , and Asahel H8070 , and Shemiramoth H3083 , and Jehonathan H138 , and Adonijah H2900 , and Tobijah H2899 , and Tobadonijah H3881 , Levites H476 ; and with them Elishama H3088 and Jehoram H3548 , priests.

⁹ H3925 And they taught [H8762]   H3063 in Judah H5612 , and had the book H8451 of the law H3068 of the LORD H5437 with them, and went about [H8799]   H5892 throughout all the cities H3063 of Judah H3925 , and taught [H8762]   H5971 the people.

¹⁰ H6343 And the fear H3068 of the LORD H4467 fell upon all the kingdoms H776 of the lands H5439 that were round about H3063 Judah H3898 , so that they made no war [H8738]   H3092 against Jehoshaphat.

¹¹ H6430 Also some of the Philistines H935 brought [H8688]   H3092 Jehoshaphat H4503 presents H4853 , and tribute H3701 silver H6163 ; and the Arabians H935 brought [H8688]   H6629 him flocks H7651 , seven H505 thousand H7651 and seven H3967 hundred H352 rams H7651 , and seven H505 thousand H7651 and seven H3967 hundred H8495 he goats.

¹² H3092 And Jehoshaphat H1980 waxed [H8802]   H1432 great H4605 exceedingly H1129 ; and he built [H8799]   H3063 in Judah H1003 castles H5892 , and cities H4543 of store.

¹³ H7227 And he had much H4399 business H5892 in the cities H3063 of Judah H582 : and the men H4421 of war H1368 , mighty men H2428 of valour H3389 , were in Jerusalem.

¹⁴ H6486 And these are the numbers H1004 of them according to the house H1 of their fathers H3063 : Of Judah H8269 , the captains H505 of thousands H5734 ; Adnah H8269 the chief H1368 , and with him mighty men H2428 of valour H7969 three H3967 hundred H505 thousand.

¹⁵ H3027 And next H3076 to him was Jehohanan H8269 the captain H3967 , and with him two hundred H8084 and fourscore H505 thousand.

¹⁶ H3027 And next H6007 him was Amasiah H1121 the son H2147 of Zichri H5068 , who willingly offered [H8693]   H3068 himself unto the LORD H3967 ; and with him two hundred H505 thousand H1368 mighty men H2428 of valour.

¹⁷ H1144 And of Benjamin H450 ; Eliada H1368 a mighty man H2428 of valour H5401 , and with him armed men [H8802]   H7198 with bow H4043 and shield H3967 two hundred H505 thousand.

¹⁸ H3027 And next H3075 him was Jehozabad H3967 , and with him an hundred H8084 and fourscore H505 thousand H2502 ready prepared [H8803]   H6635 for the war.

¹⁹ H8334 These waited [H8764]   H4428 on the king H4428 , beside those whom the king H5414 put [H8804]   H4013 in the fenced H5892 cities H3063 throughout all Judah.
