V.1 And Jehoshaphat 3092 his son 1121 reigned 4427-4 in his stead, and strengthened 2388-101 himself against Israel. 3478

17:2 And he placed 5414-4 forces 2428 in all the fenced 1219- 7 cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 and set 5414-4 garrisons 5333 in the land 776 of Judah, 3063 and in the cities 5892 of Ephraim, 669 which Asa 609 his father 1 had taken. 3920-1

17:3 And the LORD 3068 was with Jehoshaphat, 3092 because he walked 1980-1 in the first 7223 ways 1870 of his father 1 David, 1732 and sought 1875-1 not unto Baalim; 1168

17:4 But sought 1875-1 to the [LORD] God 430 of his father, 1 and walked 1980-1 in his commandments, 4687 and not after the doings 4639 of Israel. 3478

17:5 Therefore the LORD 3068 stablished 3559-55 the kingdom 4467 in his hand; 3027 and all Judah 3063 brought 5414-4 to Jehoshaphat 3092 presents; 4503 and he had riches 6239 and honour 3519 in abundance. 7230

17:6 And his heart 3820 was lifted up 1361-4 in the ways 1870 of the LORD: 3068 moreover he took away 5493-52 the high places 1116 and groves 842 out of Judah. 3063

17:7 Also in the third 7969 year 8141 of his reign 4427-2 he sent 7971-1 to his princes, 8269 [even] to Benhail, 1134 and to Obadiah, 5662 and to Zechariah, 2148 and to Nethaneel, 5417 and to Michaiah, 4322 to teach 3925-15 in the cities 5892 of Judah. 3063

17:8 And with them [he sent] Levites, 3881 [even] Shemaiah, 8098 and Nethaniah, 5418 and Zebadiah, 2069 and Asahel, 6214 and Shemiramoth, 8070 and Jehonathan, 3083 and Adonijah, 138 and Tobijah, 2900 and Tobadonijah, 2899 Levites; 3881 and with them Elishama 476 and Jehoram, 3088 priests. 3548

17:9 And they taught 3925-17 in Judah, 3063 and [had] the book 5612 of the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 with them, and went about 5437-4 throughout all the cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 and taught 3925-17 the people. 5971

17:10 And the fear 6343 of the LORD 3068 fell upon all the kingdoms 4467 of the lands 776 that [were] round about 5439 Judah, 3063 so that they made no war 3898-8 against Jehoshaphat. 3092

17:11 Also [some] of the Philistines 6430 brought 935-56 Jehoshaphat 3092 presents, 4503 and tribute 4853 silver; 3701 and the Arabians 6163 brought 935-56 him flocks, 6629 seven 7651 thousand 505 and seven 7651 hundred 3967 rams, 352 and seven 7651 thousand 505 and seven 7651 hundred 3967 he goats. 8495

17:12 And Jehoshaphat 3092 waxed 1980-6 great 1432 exceedingly; 4605 and he built 1129-4 in Judah 3063 castles, 1003 and cities 5892 of store. 4543

17:13 And he had much 7227 business 4399 in the cities 5892 of Judah: 3063 and the men 582 of war, 4421 mighty men 1368 of valour, 2428 [were] in Jerusalem. 3389

17:14 And these [are] the numbers 6486 of them according to the house 1004 of their fathers: 1 Of Judah, 3063 the captains 8269 of thousands; 505 Adnah 5734 the chief, 8269 and with him mighty men 1368 of valour 2428 three 7969 hundred 3967 thousand. 505

17:15 And next to him 3027 [was] Jehohanan 3076 the captain, 8269 and with him two hundred 3967 and fourscore 8084 thousand. 505

17:16 And next him 3027 [was] Amasiah 6007 the son 1121 of Zichri, 2147 who willingly offered 5068-102 himself unto the LORD; 3068 and with him two hundred 3967 thousand 505 mighty men 1368 of valour. 2428

17:17 And of Benjamin; 1144 Eliada 450 a mighty man 1368 of valour, 2428 and with him armed 5401-6 men with bow 7198 and shield 4043 two hundred 3967 thousand. 505

17:18 And next him 3027 [was] Jehozabad, 3075 and with him an hundred 3967 and fourscore 8084 thousand 505 ready prepared 2502-7 for the war. 6635
